Direct Variation If two quantities vary directly, their relationship can be described as: y = kx where x and y are the two quantities and k is the constant.
For the graphs that are proportional, write the equation in the form y = kx. If the graph does not show a proportional relationship, write NP (not propoertional).

Unit Rate as the Constant of Proportionality

National Forest Deer Population Wildlife conservationists are concerned that the deer population might not be constant across the National Forest. The scientists found that there were 144 deer in a 16 square mile area of the forest. In another part of the forest, conservationists counted 117 deer in a 13 square mile area. Yet a third conservationist counted 24 deer in a 216 square acre plot of the forest. Do conservationists need to be worried?

Why does it matter if the deer population is not constant in a certain area of the national forest? What is the population density of deer per square mile? Square Miles Number of Deer 16 144 13 117 24 216

Square Miles Number of Deer 16 144 13 117 24 216 When we find the number of deer per 1 square mile, what is this called? When we look at the relationship between square miles and number of deer in the table above, how do we know if the relationship is proportional?

Constant of Proportionality Constant (same) value is the constant of proportionality Deer per square mile = 9 Constant of proportionality (k) = 9 The unit rate of deer per 1 square mile is _____. Use the unit rate of deer per square mile to determine how many deer are there for every 207 square miles. Use the unit rate to determine the number of square miles in which you would find 486 deer.

A constant specifies a unique number. A variable is a placeholder for where we might expect to see a number. If the proportional relationship is described by the set of ordered pairs that satisfies the equation y=kx, where k is a positive constant, then k is called the constant of proportionality. It is the value that describes the multiplicative relationship between two quantities, x and y. The (x,y) pairs represent all the pairs of values that make the equation true.

How are the constant of proportionality and the unit rate alike?

Cookies Brandon came home from school and informed his mother that he had volunteered to make cookies for his entire grade level. He needed 3 cookies for each of the 96 students in 7th grade. Unfortunately, he needed the cookies for an event at school on the very next day! Brandon and his mother determined that they can fit 36 cookies on two cookie sheets.

Is the number of cookies proportional to the number of sheets used in baking? # of cookie sheets # of cookies baked 2 36 4 72 10 180 16 288 What is the unit rate? _____ cookies per sheet What is the constant of proportionality?

It took 2 hours to bake 8 sheets of cookies It took 2 hours to bake 8 sheets of cookies. If Brandon and his mother begin baking at 4:00 PM, when will they finish baking the cookies?

French Class Cooking Meredith and Sydney want to prepare crepes for all of the students in their French class. A recipe makes 20 crepes with a certain amount of flour, milk, and 2 eggs. The girls know that they already have plenty of flour and milk but need to determine the number of eggs needed to make 50 crepes because they are not sure they have enough eggs for the recipe.

Considering the amount of eggs necessary to make the crepes, what is the constant of proportionality? What does the constant of proportionality mean in the context of this problem? 2 eggs = ___ egg 20 crepes ___ crepes How many eggs will be needed for 50 crepes?

What is another name for the constant that relates the measures of two quantities? How is the Constant of Proportionality related to the unit rate?

Savannah and Noah are buying cold drinks for a class party Savannah and Noah are buying cold drinks for a class party. Each person is expected to drink one can of soda. Savannah says that if you multiply the unit (individual) price for a can of soda by the number of people attending the party, you will be able to determine the total cost of the soda. Noah says that if you divide the cost of a 12 pack of soda by the number of sodas, you will be able to determine the total cost of the sodas. Who is right and why?
