  1. yy is proportional to xx. When x=2x = 2, y=10y = 10. Find the constant of proportionality kk in y=kxy = kx.
  2. A train travels 21 miles in 3 minutes at a constant speed. How far does it travel in 12 minutes?
  3. Which equation represents a proportional relationship?
    1. y=2xy = 2x
    2. y=2x+9y = 2x + 9
    3. y=x+2y = x + 2
