ADDITIONAL EXAMPLE 1 Randall earns money fixing computers. Is the relationship between the amount Randall earns and the number of days a proportional relationship? Yes; the constant rate of change is $175 per day.

ADDITIONAL EXAMPLE 2 Two pounds of peaches cost $4. 50, 5 pounds cost $11.

ADDITIONAL EXAMPLE 2 Two pounds of peaches cost $4. 50, 5 pounds cost $11. 25, and 10 pounds cost $22. 50. Show that the relationship between the number of pounds of peaches and the cost is a proportional relationship. Then write an equation for the relationship.

Craig earns extra money as a lifeguard. He earns $37 for 4 hours and $64. 75 for 7 hours. 2. Identify the constant of proportionality, and write an equation for the proportional relationship. 9. 25; If y = earnings and x = hours, = 9. 25. 3. Write an equation for the following proportional relationship. = 7. 5.
