If a graph is a straight line with a positive slope AND goes through the point (0, 0), then the relationship is direct. Definition: A quantity y is directly proportional to a quantity x if y = kx for some k > 0. Often just the term proportional is used to mean directly proportional.
In January 2011, the NYS Board of Regents adopted the NYS P-12 CCLS, which include the Common Core State Standards and a small amount of additional standards uniquely added by New YorkState. The New York State P-12 CCLS were implemented in New York State schools at the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year.
This lack of standardization was one reason why states decided to develop the Common Core State Standards in 2009. The development of the Common Core State Standards is a success story of meaningful, state-led change to help all students succeed. The college- and career-readiness standards were developed first and then incorporated into the K-12 standards in the final version of the Common Core we have today.
