   Answer. y = 4x

   y = kx with k = 4 gives y = 4x.

8. 8.

   A proportional relationship has constant of proportionality 2. Write an equation for y in terms of x. Write a complete answer — Elena will compare with a partner.

   Answer. y = 2x

   y = kx with k = 2 gives y = 2x.

9. 9.

   A proportional relationship has constant of proportionality 3. Write an equation for y in terms of x. Write a complete answer — Luis will compare with a partner.

   Answer. y = 3x

   y = kx with k = 3 gives y = 3x.

10. 10.

    A proportional relationship has constant of proportionality 6. Write an equation for y in terms of x. Write a complete answer — Owen will compare with a partner.

    Answer. y = 6x

    y = kx with k = 6 gives y = 6x.

    Think

    Sam tried this problem:
    A proportional relationship has constant of proportionality 7. Write an equation for y in terms of x.
    Sam wrote y = 6x. That is not correct. What is the right answer?

    Answer. y = 7x

    Sam’s answer y = 6x is off. y = kx with k = 7 gives y = 7x.

12. 12.

    Think

    Malik tried this problem:
    A proportional relationship has constant of proportionality 4. Write an equation for y in terms of x.
    Malik wrote y = 8x. That is not correct. What is the right answer?

    Answer. y = 4x

    Malik’s answer y = 8x is off. y = kx with k = 4 gives y = 4x.

Original extra practice. Keys are computed from the items, not guessed.
