• Also called: a constant ratio, unit rate, constant multiplier

Multiple Choice

What is constant of proportionality?

• A number that shows the proportional relationship between two amounts (x and y)

• when two quantities are always in equivalent ratios

You can find the constant of proportionality in a table.

x values times the constant of proportionality is the y value

Sometimes the number being multiplied is not obvious, so we can divide!
