Deangelo Christensen · Answer 1

When a relationship is proportional, all y over x ratios simplify to the slope of the line which is the constant of proportionality or the unit rate, with one as a denominator. Example: Consider the equation y = 60x. The slope is 60. The rate of change is 60 units for every one unit.
