A student reads 65 pages per hour proportional relationship

3 hrs = 195 pages

5hrs = 325

9=585

10 = 6500

Is the relationship proportional. Explain.

Yes. The relationship is proportional. This is because y is dependent on the changes of x with the constant rate of proportionality.

Direct proportion formula is:

y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality.

In this case, k = 65 pages. x = number of hours. y = total pages read in x hours.

y = k * x

65 = 65 1 hr

195 = 65 3 hrs

325 = 65 5 hrs

585 = 65 9 hrs

6500 = 65 10 hrs
