EXIT TICKET1. At the conclusion of the video, your classmate takes out his or her calculator and says, “Wow that was amazing! That means the dog went about 5 meters in 1 second!” Is your classmate correct, and how do you know?

2. After seeing this video, another dog owner trained his dog, Lightning, to try to break Tillman‛s skateboarding record. Lightning‛s fastest recorded time was on a 75-meter stretch where it took him 15.5 seconds. Based on this data, did Lightning break Tillman‛s record for fastest dog on a skateboard? Explain how you know.

If a proportional relationship is described by the set of ordered pairs that satisfies the equation y = kx, where k is a positive constant, the k is called the constant of proportionality.  It is the value that describes the multiplicative relationship between two quantities, x and y.  The (x, y) pairs represent all the pairs of values that make the equation true.

Finding Constant of Proportionality

yx = k

Discussion

Does everyone pay the same cost per ounce? How do you know?

Isabelle's brother takes an extra-long time to create his dish. When he puts it on the scale, it weighs 15 ounces. If everyone pays the same rate in this store, how much will his dish cost? How did you calculate this cost?

Alex's total earnings are proportional to the number of weeks he worked. There exists a constant value, 28, that can be multiplied by the number of weeks to determine the corresponding earnings for that week. The table shows an example of a proportional relationship.
