Try It! • A herring swims 3 kilometers in 30 minutes. Another day, the herring swims 7 kilometers in 70 minutes. Is this a proportional relationship?
Talk About It • What does the x-axis represent? • What does the y-axis represent? • What is the scale on each axis?
Talk About It • Two points always define a line. • Some lines represent proportional relationships and some do not. • A line that represents a proportional relationship goes through the origin.
Talk About It • Does the line go through the origin?
Solve It • Create a graph of the herring problem using the centimeter grid paper and a ruler. Show that the line goes through the origin.
Check for Understanding • Which graph represents a proportional relationship?
Practice and Homework • Start on Lesson 1 Ratios and Proportional Relationships worksheet. Read the directions carefully. • Homework: Complete worksheet and look at the web page for additional problems for practice.
