Non Proportional and Proportional Relationships

What is a proportional relationship?

• A proportional relationship is when x=0 and y=0
• A proportional relationship is when the slope passes through the origin.
• A proportional relationship is in the form of y=mx.
• All of the above

What is a non-proportional relationship?

• A non-proportional relationship is when x=0 and y= 0
• A non-proportional relationship is when the slope passes through the origin.
• A non-proportional relationship is in the form of y=mx+b
• A non-proportional relationship does NOT have a fee.
