Finding a Constant of Proportionality

Question 15 • Pre-Algebra A-CR

Sasha noticed that the graph of the sales of yearbooks represented a proportional relationship. How could she have calculated the constant of proportionality by looking at the graph?

Answer
A
She could divide any y-value by its corresponding x-value.
B
She could divide any x-value by its corresponding y-value.
C
She could add any y-value to its corresponding x-value.
D
She could subtract any x-value from its corresponding y-value.

Explanation

In a proportional relationship, the equation is y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality. Solving for k gives k = y ÷ x, so Sasha could divide any y-value by its corresponding x-value. This is choice A, “divide any y-value by its corresponding x-value.”
