Proportional Relationships: Tables, Graphs & Equations — Easy Worksheet 1
Grade 7 · MathSheets Name: ____________________ Date: __________
Complete each table and graph the points on the grid. Then answer the question. Write equations as y = kx, using a decimal for k when it is not a whole number.
How to solve
A proportional relationship has the equation y = kx, where k is the unit rate (the y-value when x = 1). Find k by dividing any y by its x. To fill a missing y, multiply its x by k; to fill a missing x, divide its y by k. Each pair (x, y) is a point on the graph, and the points line up on a straight line through (0, 0). Example: 4 pages every minute gives y = 4x, so 3 minutes → 12 pages and 20 pages → 5 minutes.
Example
A plant grows 4 centimeters each week. Let x be the weeks and y the centimeters. Write the equation for this relationship.

Not quite. The answer is
💡 A proportional relationship has the equation y = kx. k is the unit rate, the cups of flour for x = 1. The story gives it: k = 3. The equation is y = 3x.
✓ Correct!
