Exploring Slope-Intercept Form: Proportional vs Non-Proportional Situations

The video tutorial explains the difference between proportional and non-proportional relationships using babysitting scenarios. It demonstrates how to represent these relationships in tables and graphs, focusing on the slope-intercept form y=mx+b. The tutorial highlights that proportional relationships start at the origin (0,0), while non-proportional ones have a y-intercept. Examples include Jennifer's babysitting charges with and without an initial fee, illustrating how these concepts apply in real-world situations.

What is the main difference between proportional and non-proportional relationships?

• Non-proportional relationships have a constant rate of change, while proportional relationships do not.

• Proportional relationships have a variable rate of change, while non-proportional relationships have a constant rate.

• Proportional relationships start at the origin (0,0), while non-proportional relationships do not.

• Proportional relationships have a constant rate of change, while non-proportional relationships do not.
