  2. 2. The table shows the total cost for a number of books. What is the constant of proportionality relating cost ($y$) to the number of books ($x$)? | Books (x) | 2 | 4 | 5 | | Cost ($) (y) | 14 | 28 | 35 |

    • A. 2
    • B. 7
    • C. 14
    • D. 28
  3. 3. A car travels 240 miles in 4 hours. If the distance traveled ($y$) is proportional to the time ($x$), what is the constant of proportionality? $k = $ ___.

  5. 5. A water pump moves 75 gallons of water ($y$) in 5 minutes ($x$). Assuming the relationship is proportional, find the constant of proportionality. $k = $ ___.

  6. 6. A table shows hours biked and distance covered. After 2 hours, a cyclist travels 18 miles. After 3 hours, 25 miles. Is the relationship between distance and time proportional?

    • A. Yes, because the distance increases with time.
    • B. No, because the ratio of miles to hours is not constant.
    • C. Yes, because the ratio of miles to hours is constant.
    • D. Cannot be determined from the data.
