Answer:

A

Explanation:

We have the equation:


\displaystyle (3)/(8)y=2+x

And we want to determine whether or not this represents a direct proportion.

First, let's solve for y. Multiply both sides by 8/3:


\displaystyle y=(16)/(3)+(8)/(3)x

Remember that direct proportions must pass through the origin point on a graph. In other words, their y-intercept or constant value is zero.

Since the constant value here is not zero (it is 16/3), the equation is not direct proportion.

Our answer is A.
