WK 21 Mon Proportional given a graph or table
1. From the graph, a straight line passing through the origin.
2. From the table, the Constant of Proportionality are all the same. Which means the ratio comparing y-value to thex-value; that is y-value divided by x-value.
Data is proportional if:
Study the following slides and decide if data is 
proportional based on reasoning.
screen shot at pm
Not proportional because the line does not passthrough the origin.
screen shot at pm
Not proportional because the line is not straight.
