Key learning outcomes for this video:
- To be able to form and solve equations that represent proportionality.
- Recognise the shape of the graphs for direct and indirect/inverse proportion.
Cue card notes and useful reminders…
- We always use the letter ‘k’ to represent the constant of proportionality.
> You calculate this constant by using given values.
> Then write an equation with your calculated value of k.
> Then often you are asked to substitute in a new value to your equation.
- Indirect proportion and inverse proportion are used to mean the same thing* - one variable increases in proportion as the other decreases
