  1. Proportional Relationships By Janie Solinski-Ruddy for use with Chirping Crickets

  2. Proportions are Comparisons of Two Equal Ratios A relationship where one number of the ratio increases by the same factor as the other number in a ratio is said to be DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL A relationship where one number of the ratio decreases by the same factor as the other number in a ratio increases is said to be INVERSLY PROPORTIONAL.

The hours of studying and the grade on a test. The number of hours that the lights are on in a home and the cost of the electric bill.

  5. Can a Directly Proportional Relationship be Represented Graphically? • Create a graph that you think will show a directly proportional relationship. • Does your graph look similar? A directly proportional relationship will form, usually, an increasing line. Sewaqu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_squares#mediaviewer/File:Linear_regression.svg

  6. Can an Inversely Proportional Relationship be Represented Graphically? • Create a graph that you think will show an inversely proportional relationship. • Does your graph look similar?
