Proportional relationships worksheet
y is proportional to x when y divided by x gives the same number every time. That number is the constant of proportionality, k, and the equation is y = kx. A table where y climbs by a fixed amount but does not start at zero is linear, not proportional.

How to do these
Find the constant of proportionality
- Divide y by x in any column.
- 6 over 2 is 3, and 12 over 4 is 3 as well.
The answer is .
Where students go wrong
Testing one column and stopping. One pair always divides to something; proportional means every pair divides to the same thing.
Also called constant of proportionality, y = kx, proportional tables or direct proportion.
