Front

What is a proportional relationship?

Back

A proportional relationship is one where two quantities maintain a constant ratio, meaning as one quantity increases, the other increases at a consistent rate.

What is a non-proportional relationship?

Back

A non-proportional relationship is one where the ratio between two quantities is not constant, meaning the relationship does not maintain a consistent rate of change.

What does the y-intercept represent in a non-proportional graph?

Back

The y-intercept represents the value of y when x is zero, indicating a starting point that is not zero.

If a graph is represented by the equation y = 2x + 3, is it proportional or non-proportional?

Back

Non-proportional, because it has a y-intercept of 3.
