![Page 2: Unit 3, Lesson 6 Constant of Proportionality and Writing Direct Variation Equations.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022080914/56649f465503460f94c68463/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Proportional relationships vary directly and we say that they are direct variations. These are linear (line) relationships and have an equation that describes the relationship.
The constant of proportionality in a direct variation is a constant ratio (unit rate) in any proportional relationship.
We use the letter k to represent the constant of proportionality.
Equations:
y = kx or k = y x

We can find the constant of proportionality from a table of values, equation and a graph.
In a table, simplify any one of the ratios.

In an equation, write the equation in the form y = kx to find k.
Examples:
Y=5x
Y=¼x
Y=3.5x

Constant of proportionality & unit rate are equivalent.
We can use the constant of proportionality to help write equations using proportional relationships.
By transforming the equation from: to y = kx, we canwrite an equation that can be applied to various situations.
X is the independent (input) variable and y is the dependent (output) variable. This means that a change in x will effect y.

You are buying Jersey Tomatoes for a cost of 2 pounds for $3.98. Write an equation to represent the proportional relationship.
• Let c = cost p = pounds
• Determine the unit rate:
• Write an equation to relate the two quantities:
