Worksheet: Graphs of Proportional Relationships
In this worksheet, we will practice identifying the graph of proportional relationships, determining the constant of proportionality (unit rate), and explaining the meaning of each point on the graph.
Jennifer decided to make pizzas. The graph shows the number of tomatoes needed for a given number of pizzas.
Determine which of the following statements is true.
- AThe point (3, 6) shows that to make 3 pizzas she needs 6 tomatoes.
- BThe point shows that she needs 5 tomatoes to make 10 pizzas.
- CThe point (8, 4) shows that she needs 8 tomatoes to make 4 pizzas.
- DThe point shows that she needs 5 tomatoes to make 10 pizzas.
- EThe point (6, 3) shows that to make 6 pizzas she needs 3 tomatoes.
From the graph, find the constant of proportionality between the electricity bill and electricity consumption (i.e., the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour).
- A$8.33 per kilowatt-hour
- B$0.2 per kilowatt-hour
- C$0.12 per kilowatt-hour
- D$5 per kilowatt-hour
- E$1.2 per kilowatt-hour
Isabella is using origami sheets to make flowers. The following table and graph show the number of flowers she makes and the number of origami sheets she uses. Is this a proportional relationship?
