Answer:

  • No, there is no proportional relationship

Explanation:

The proportional relationship is:

  • y = kx, which is a special form of linear equation, with zero y-intercept

In the given case we have:

  • y = 4.5x + 10

This is a linear function but not proportional relationship because it has y-intercept, different than zero
