Proportional relationship

Two quantities with constant ratio

Direct proportion formula

y=kxy = kx

kk in y=kxy = kx

Constant of proportionality

yx\frac{y}{x} in direct proportion equals

kk (constant)

Graph of proportional relationship

Straight line through origin (0,0)(0,0)

Slope of proportional relationship line

Constant of proportionality kk

Inverse proportion formula

y=kxy = \frac{k}{x}

Find kk if y=8y=8, x=2x=2 (inverse)

k=xy=8×2=16k = xy = 8 \times 2 = 16

Formula for kk in direct proportion

k=yxk = \frac{y}{x}

Confirming proportionality from graph

Check if straight line through origin
