Do linear graphs represent proportional relationships?
Do all linear graphs have proportional relationship
What is a slope in mathematics?
It's the gradient, or the steepness, of a linear function. It is represented by 'm' in the linear formula y=mx+b. To find the slope of a line, pick to points. The formula is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). See the related link "Picture of a Linear Function for a picture of a linear function.
What is Non linear relationship?
In mathematics, when the dependent variable is not proportional to the independent variable. The function does not vary directly with the input. Example: y=sin (x).
Is the circumference of a circle a linear function of its radius?
Yes.You could also state that the circumference is directly proportional to the radius. The proportionality constant is (2 pi).
What is a non linear relationship?
In mathematics, when the dependent variable is not proportional to the independent variable. The function does not vary directly with the input. Example: y=sin (x).
How can you tell something is a linear function?
A function is linear if one variable is directly proportional to the other.

Do all linear graphs have proportional relationship
Are linear relationships proportional?
A relationship that occurs when variable quantities are directly proportional to one another. A linear relationship can be represented on a graph as a STRAIGHT LINE. Linear relationships always follow the formula: y=mx+b where y is the value of the y-coordinate, where my is the slope of the line, where x is the value of the x-coordinate, and b is the y-intercept
The force exerted on an objectis is related in a linear fashion to the acceleration of the object?
Yes, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it. this means that, as the net force acting on the object increases, the acceleration of the object increases; thus, the function forms a linear pattern.
How do linear and exponential functions change over equal intervals?
The linear function changes by an amount which is directly proportional to the size of the interval. The exponential changes by an amount which is proportional to the area underneath the curve. In the latter case, the change is approximately equal to the size of the interval multiplied by the average value of the function over the interval.
Why is the resistance vs current graph is not linear?
resitance is inversly proportional to current when (v) is kept constant <><><><><> Because resistance is a function of temperature.

Yes.You could also state that the circumference is directly proportional to the radius. The proportionality constant is (2 pi).
Is a quadratic function proportional?
I'd say no. A quadratic is not linear. It's slope is constantly changing, so there is not one proportion which can be used to predict future values.
Is linear function the same as linear equations?
No a linear equation are not the same as a linear function. The linear function is written as Ax+By=C. The linear equation is f{x}=m+b.
