We are given the graph of a line, and we are asked to determine if it is a proportional or non-proportional relationship. Let's remember the general form of the equation of a line, that is:


y=mx+b

where "m" is the slope and "b" the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the value where the line touches the y-axis. According to the graph, the value of "b" is b = 1, therefore, the equation of the line would be:


y=mx+1

A proportional relationship is of the form:


y=kx

since the value of "b" is different from zero the relationship is non-proporsional.

The relationship is non-proportional
