Lesson 1

Understanding Proportional Relationships

Problem 1

Priya jogs at a constant speed. The relationship between her distance and time is shown on the graph. Diego bikes at a constant speed twice as fast as Priya. Sketch a graph showing the relationship between Diego’s distance and time.

graph. horizontal axis, time in hours, scale 0 to 1, by 1 tenth's. vertical axis, distance in miles, scale 0 to 6, by 2's. line passing through origin and 4 tenths comma 2.

Problem 3

A line contains the points \((\text-4,1)\) and \((4,6)\). Decide whether or not each of these points is also on the line:

  1. \((0,3.5)\)
  2. \((12,11)\)
  3. \((80,50)\)
  4. \((\text-1,2.875)\)
