1. Proportional & Non-proportional Situations
Lesson 4.4

2. Make a t-Chart for Proportional Vs. Non proportional

3. Example #1: distinguish between proportional and non-proportional situations using a graph
Is the graph proportional or non-proportional?
Explain
How could you find the slope and y-intercept of this graph?
Step 1: Plot points on the line
Step 2: Find the slope (two ordered pairs)
Step 3: What is the y-intercept (if x is zero, what is y)
Step 4: What is the equation of the line (y = mx + b)
What do the slope and the y-intercept of the graph represent in this situation?

4. Proportional vs non-proportional using a table/Graph
What does linear mean?
When you evaluate a table, how do you know if it is proportional or non-proportional?
Look to see if there is a constant slope (using slope formula)
If there is a constant, the table is proportional.
When you evaluate a graph, how do you know if it is proportional or non- proportional?
If the line goes through the origin, it is proportional. If the line does not go through the origin, it is non-proportional.

5. distinguish between proportional/non-proportional situations using a graph Pg. 113
Determine if each of the following graphs represents a proportional or non-proportional relationship.
Non-proportional
Proportional

The table shows the distance of a train from a station and the time it will take to arrive. Is it proportional or non-proportional?
Find the slope.
Are the slopes in the table constant?
Is this table proportional or non-proportional? (Please explain reasoning).

8. distinguish between proportional/non-proportional situations using an equation
A linear equation of the form y = mx + b may represent either a proportional or non-proportional relationship.
If b = 0, it is proportional.
If b ≠ 0, it is non proportional.
The number of years since Keith graduated from middle school can be represented by the equation y = a – 14, where y is the number of years and a is his age. Is the relationship between the number of years since Keith graduated and his age proportional or non- proportional?

9. distinguish between proportional/non-proportional situations using an equation
Determine if each of the following equations represents a proportional or non- proportional relationship. 1. d = 65t 2. p = 0.1s n = 450 – 3p = 12d 1. proportional 2. Non-proportional 3. Non-proportional 4. nonproportional

10. Card sort Activity
Each group will be given graphs, charts, and equations and a piece of paper that has proportional and non-proportional on it.
Your group will determine if they are proportional or non- proportional.
Your work will go on the back of the papers you are given.
Once you have placed each item under the correct word, your group will get it checked by a teacher.

12. Example #4: Comparing proportional and non-proportional situations
A laser tag league has a choice of two arenas for a tournament. In both cases, x is the number of hours and y is the total charge. Compare and contrast these two situations.
What is the slope for Arena A?
What is the y-intercept for Arena A?
What is the slope for Arena B?
What is the y-intercept for Arena B?
Compare and contrast the slope and y-intercept.

13. Jessika is remodeling and has the choice of two painters

What is the slope for Painter A?
What is the y-intercept for Painter A?
What is the slope for Painter B?
What is the y-intercept for Painter B?
Compare and Contrast the Slope and y-intercept.

14. Additional Example
