​Proportional Relationships

​In a proportional relationship, we multiply one quantity by the same number to get the other quantity.

​

​

​This table represents a Proportional Relationship because we multiply each x value by four to get the y values

​Constant of Proportionality

​The constant of proportionality, is the number we constantly multiply one quantity of a proportional relationship to get the other quantity.

​In this table, the constant of proportionality is 3.

​Remember, if we are dividing x by a value, its the same as multiplying by the reciprocal.

​

​Dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by 1/2.

​

​In this table, we divide every x value by two to get our y value; therefore, the constant of proportionality is
