Answer: Non proportional

Proportional equations are of the form y = kx, for some fixed constant k. The k value is the constant of proportionality.

The +100 at the end is why we don't have a proportional equation.

Visually all proportional equations go through the origin, meaning the lines have y intercept of 0. For y = 230x+100, the y intercept is 100.
