1. The relationship between a distance in yards (y) and the same distance in miles (m) is
described by the equation y = 1760m.
a. Find measurements in yards and miles for distances by filling in the table.

3,520
17,600
b. Is there a proportional relationship between a measurement in yards and a
measurement in miles for the same distance? Explain why or why not.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between a distance in yards and the same distance in miles is described by the equation y = 1760m.

So, the graph of the above equation passes through the origin(0,0) and it will be a straight line with a constant slope of 1760.

Therefore, a measurement in yards and a measurement in miles are in relation to proportionality for the same distance.

Hence, y ∝ m and 1760 is a constant of proportionality.
