Does the table below represent a proportional relationship? x 2 3 4 5 y 6 7 8 9 No, because all the ratios of y to x are not equal. Yes, because all the ratios of y to x are equal to 3. Yes, because all the ratios of y to x are equal to 2. No, because all the numbers are positive.

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@welshfella can u pleas help u to @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (welshfella):

work out the vales of y/x for each pair

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have a proportional relationship between two variables, say y and x, when the subsequent formula holds: \[\frac{y}{x} = k = {\text{constant}}\] for all pairs (x,y)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

6/2 , 7/3 etc

OpenStudy (welshfella):

if they are all the same then you have a proportional relationship

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like divide them

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2 ÷ 6 ÷ 7 ÷ 3 and so on

OpenStudy (welshfella):

6/2 = ? 7/3 = ? etc

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

not exactly, you have to consider these ratios: \[\frac{6}{2},\;\frac{7}{3},\;\frac{8}{4},\;\frac{9}{5}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 / 2 = 3 7 / 3 = 2.3333333.. 4 / 8 = 0.5 5 / 9 = 0.55555556

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok! It is the same. Are those ratios equals each other?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

right - so what do you conclude from these results?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A ?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of the following tables represents a proportional relationship? x 4 6 8 10 y 6 9 12 15 x 1 4 7 10 y 0 3 6 9 x 2 4 6 8 y 3 4 5 6 x 2 3 4 5 y 3 6 9 12

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the last 2 results are wrong thoug they should be 8/4 = 2 9/5 = 1.8

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right! @welshfella

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant me metal both so Michele metal welsh and i will metal u Michele

OpenStudy (welshfella):

you need to perform the same calculations with each of the 4 tables to see which is the correct one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and what do u think this answer is to this one Which of the following tables represents a proportional relationship? x 4 6 8 10 y 6 9 12 15 x 1 4 7 10 y 0 3 6 9 x 2 4 6 8 y 3 4 5 6 x 2 3 4 5 y 3 6 9 12

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@welshfella did more work than me @LastMan2934.J.M

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so u want me to metal him and not u

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Table A:- 6/4 = ? 9/6 = ? 12/8 = ? 15/10 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool so can u please help with more

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of the following tables represents a proportional relationship? x 4 6 8 10 y 6 9 12 15 x 1 4 7 10 y 0 3 6 9 x 2 4 6 8 y 3 4 5 6 x 2 3 4 5 y 3 6 9 12

OpenStudy (welshfella):

well do the above calculations and see what you get

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here you have to apply the same criterion used to solve the first exrcise

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not to be rude but i dont have much time i am sorta in a rush

OpenStudy (welshfella):

gotta go right now

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

you are right, nevertheless I can not give the direct answer, since I have to respect the Code of Conduct

OpenStudy (anonymous):
