#Which relationships have the same constant of proportionality between y and x as the equation 3y=27x

i don't get how the third is correct. isn't this basically saying 3x = 27y instead??

The third one is saying $y=(1/9)x$, e.g., from the first item in the table, $1/3=(1/9)(3)$.

oh so it's bound to look like that on a chart?

#

like y is 9 for every x?

#

I just started relearning constant of proportionality from a looong time ago, i dont remember anything. but i remember some graphs reversing numbers. This must be why

#

just cuz idk how old this is (i went to sleep)

#

oh same guy!! thank you

#

From the chart, it follows the pattern of x being nine times larger than y, so y=(1/9)x, instead of y=9x.

exotic seal
#

so.. is the chart incorrect or correct?

#

sorry im still trying to grasp the concept

#

because don't we want it to be y=9x?

steep glacier
#

The chart doesn't have the same constant of proportionality as the equation.

#

oh -- so x should be at 9 instead and y should be at 1 if it were correct

#

khan just made a mistake -- basically?

steep glacier
#

X would be at 1 and y would be at 9, because y would be 9 times x.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the table (4th option)! The chart (3rd option) is correct.

#

sorry no i was confused about the third!! okay makes a lot of sense if i go from what we were talking about b4 then. Ty :)

#

i had completely zoned the 4th one out of my mind

#

anyway ty sm!!
