What is a proportional relationship in the context of graphs?

Back

A proportional relationship is when two quantities maintain a constant ratio, resulting in a straight line through the origin on a graph.

How can you determine if a graph represents a proportional relationship?

Back

By checking if the line passes through the origin (0,0) and if the ratio of the y-value to the x-value is constant.

What is the significance of the x-axis in a graph?

Back

The x-axis typically represents the independent variable, which is the variable that is manipulated or changed.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis in a graph?

Back

The y-axis typically represents the dependent variable, which is the variable that is measured or observed.

How do you calculate the slope of a line in a graph?

Back

The slope is calculated by dividing the change in the y-values by the change in the x-values (rise over run).
