This document discusses proportional relationships using examples of babysitting hours and money earned, snowfall and snow accumulation, and hours worked by a carpenter and money paid. It explains that if the unit rates are the same for each data entry, the relationship is proportional. For a proportional relationship, a graph of the data will produce a straight line that passes through the origin. The babysitting example shows a proportional relationship with a constant unit rate of $12 per hour. However, the snowfall example is not proportional because there is not a constant rate of change.
