Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem is asking which relationships have the same constant of proportionality between and as the equation .
To solve this, we will analyze each option and check if the constant of proportionality (the ratio ) is equal to .
-
Option A:
- Rearrange to get in terms of :
- The constant of proportionality here is , which is not equal to .
-
Option B:
- Rearrange to get in terms of :
- The constant of proportionality is , which matches the given equation.
-
Option C: Graph with a line passing through points (0,0) and (2,5)
- The slope (constant of proportionality) is given by:
- The constant of proportionality is , which matches the given equation.
-
Option D: Graph with a line passing through points (0,0) and (5,2)
- The slope is:
- The constant of proportionality is , which is not equal to .
-
Option E: Table of values
- To check the proportionality, calculate for each pair of values:
- For , , we have .
- For , , we have .
- For , , we have , which is not .
- Since not all pairs of values match , this option does not match.
- To check the proportionality, calculate for each pair of values:
Final answer:
The relationships that match the given equation are:
- B
- C
