Example Question #151 : Grade 7

Identify the constant of proportionality (i.e. the unit rate) in the provided graph. 

9

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 12\)

\(\displaystyle 9\)

\(\displaystyle 13\)

\(\displaystyle 10\)

\(\displaystyle 11\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 9\)

Explanation:

In order to determine the constant of proportionality, we need to divide the quantities from the \(\displaystyle X\) coordinate by the quantities from the \(\displaystyle Y\) coordinate. In order for the graph to show a direct proportion, each quotient should equal the same value. 

First, we need to find a series of coordinate points:

9 1

Now that we have a series of coordinate points, we can divide to find the constant of proportionality:

\(\displaystyle 9\div1=9\)

\(\displaystyle 27\div3=9\)

\(\displaystyle 54\div6=9\)

All of the quotients are the same value; therefore, this graph does show direct proportion and the constant of proportionality is \(\displaystyle 9\).
