Question

Which equation represents a nonproportional relationship? Which equation represents a nonproportional relationship? A y = 5x B y = 5x + 3 C y = −5x D y = − 1 5 x

Answer 1

y = 5x + 3 is a nonproportional relationship.

Explanation:

We need to find the equation that represents a nonproportional relationship.

If y is directly proportional to x, it would mean that,

y ∝ x

y = kx

Option (b) shows the equation of a line i.e. y=mx+x, where m is slope and x is y-intercept.

Hence, we can say that option (b) represents a nonproportional relationship.
