Front

What is a proportional relationship?

Back

A proportional relationship is one where two quantities maintain a constant ratio, meaning that as one quantity increases or decreases, the other does so in a consistent manner.

What is a non-proportional relationship?

Back

A non-proportional relationship is one where the ratio between two quantities is not constant, meaning that changes in one quantity do not result in consistent changes in the other.

What does it mean if a graph does not pass through the origin?

Back

If a graph does not pass through the origin, it indicates a non-proportional relationship, as the ratio between the two quantities is not constant.

If y = 3x + 1, is this relationship proportional or non-proportional?

Back

Non-proportional, because it includes a constant term (1) that shifts the line.

Front

What does the slope of a line represent in a proportional relationship?

Back

The slope represents the constant ratio between the two quantities.
