How can you tell the difference between a graph in which one variable is directly proportional to another and a graph in which two variables vary inversely?
1. You can tell the difference because the proportional one has the same slope while the inversely one has opposite reciprocal slope.
Describe how you can tell by looking at the graph of a function with variable is the input variable and which is the output variable?
You cannot.
How can i tell when figures are similar?
When they have the same interior angles and their sides are proportional to each other.
The nurmerical factor of a term that contains a variable?
Coefficient would be the answer I think. If not please tell me.
What does the inverse-square law tell you about the relationship between force and distance?
The inverse-square law applies to gravitational and electrical forces. An inverse-square law tells you:That the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.That means that if the distance is increased by a factor "n", the force is decreased by a factor "n2".For example, if you increase the distance by a factor of 10, the force will decrease by a factor of 102 = 10 x 10 = 100.

How do you tell if a math table is inversely proportional or directly proportional?
Generally, if y increases as x increases, this is a hint that the quantity is directly proportional, and if y decreases as x increases, the relation might be inversely proportional. However, this is not always the case. x and y are directly proportional if y = kx, where k is a constant. x and y are inversely proportional if y = k/x, k is constant. This is the best way to tell whether the quantities are directly or inversely proportional.
How can you tell if one variable is directly proportional to another variable?
One variable is directly proportional to another if increasing/decreasing the first variable increases/decreases the second variable by the same proportion. For example, consider the equation a = b x c. "a" is directly proportional to both "b" and "c". If you double "b" or "c" then "a" is also doubled etc...
How can you tell something is a linear function?
A function is linear if one variable is directly proportional to the other.
What is an example of inversely proportional?
If quantity A is directly proportional to another quantity B, it means that if B is doubled so is A. When B is tripled so is A. It also works in the other direction; if A is tripled so is B. It works for any factor. In mathematical terms one may write: A = C * B Where C is some numerical constant.

how to tell if a table s proportional or non proportional
How do you tell if a pair of ratios are proportional?
you have to times and get the answer correct or not

You cannot.
How can you tell from the graph of Molly's garden on the previous slide that it represents a proportional relationship?
The graph of a proportional relationship has the same unit rate, is a straight line, and starts at the origin.
How can i tell if a relation is a function?
you can tell if there is an independent (x) and a dependent (y) variable
What are the independent and depent variables?
You can tell which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable by changing the equation into an "if/then" statement. Example: y = 3x In this example, x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable. If you give me x, I will tell you y. If x = 1, then y = 3 If x = 2, then y = 6 So you give me the independent variable, and then I will be able to determine the dependent variable.

When they have the same interior angles and their sides are proportional to each other.
