4. Proportional vs. Non-Proportional
If two quantities are proportional, then they have a constant ratio.
If the ratio is not constant, the two quantities are said to be non- proportional.
We will make tables and look at the relationship between the variables to determine proportionality.

5. Proportional Relationships
Will always go through the origin on a graph. (0,0)
Graph will always be a straight line.
Always write the constant ratio in the form of
Reduce or divide to find the constant ratio for each.

6. Proportional or Non-proportional?
In order to tell from a table if there is a proportional relationship or not, you can check to see if the ratio is the same.
The ratio is also known as the scale factor.

7. x y x y EX 1. and 2.) Tell if the following tables represent a
proportional relationships. x y 5 10 8 16 20 14 28 21 42 x y 2 3 8 5 12 9 20 10 22

8. In order to tell if a graph is proportional the line must go
through the origin.
EX 3. and 4.) Tell if the following graphs represent a
proportional relationships.
Proportional ? _________
Proportional ? _________
Line does not
go thru the origin
Why?
Why?
Line goes thru the origin

9. In order to tell if a set of ordered pairs is proportional,
look at the ratio of y to x.
EX 5.) Tell if the following set of ordered pairs represents
a proportional relationship.
Proportional? ______
Equation ___________
Ordered Pair _________
Ratio _________

10. EX 6. and 7.) Determine if the following equations show a
proportional relationship.
Put a zero in for x; if y is zero then
it is a proportional relationship because
it goes through the origin.
y = 3x – 1
y = 10x

13. Equations: We will also make equations to describe each situation.
If the situation is proportional, you will use your constant ratio in your equation.
Make sure you define your variables!!!
