Is a linar relationship that has a constant rate of change always a proportional relationship?

No.
The relationship between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures:
C = 5/9*(F-32)
is linear. The rate of change is 5/9 F degrees per C degrees but the relationship is not proportional. 0 C is not 0 F.

What is the relationship among proportional relationship lines rate of change and slope?
The rate of change is the same as the slope.
What is the differences between constant and proportional error?
A constant error is something that does not change as the variable you are observing changes. For example, a set of scales that are always 0.3kg off. No matter who is standing on them, they will always get a reading that is 0.3kg greater than their actual mass. A proportional error changes as the variable you are observing changes, but more importantly it changes in a way that can be predicted.
What does constant of proportionality in math terms?
If two variables, X and Y, are linked by a relationship according to which X = 0 when Y = 0 (and conversely) and a unit change in X results in a change in Y of k units (either always positive or always negative), then k is the constant of proportionality between X and Y. The relationship between X and Y can be written ay Y/X = k (X not 0) or more generally, as Y = k*X
Is a constant force necessary for a constant acceleration?
Yes. The equation that relates force to acceleration is very simple:F = M A ,orA = F / M .The acceleration is directly proportional to the force, and if the force doesn't change,then the acceleration doesn't change. (' M ' is the mass of the thing that's being'forced' to accelerate.)So constant force produces constant acceleration, and is the only way to do it.
When both dimensions of a figure are changed using the same scale factor is the change proportional or non proportional?
If it is a 2-dimensional figure then it is proportional.
What is the simplified proportional relationship called?
A proportional relationship between two quantities is one in which the two quantities called the unit rate, the rate of change, or the constant of proportionality.
When a rate of change varies from point to point the relationship is what?
it is a proportional relationship because a proportional relationship is known as a relationship between two quantities in which the ratio of one quantity to the other quantity is constant.
What is relationship among proportional relationships lines rates of change and slope?
The graph of a relationship in which two variables are in direct proportion is a straight line through the origin, whose slope = the rate of change = the constant of proportionality.
What is the relationship of constant and change?
"Constant" means that something doesn't change.
What is the relationship among proportional relationship lines rate of change and slope?
The rate of change is the same as the slope.
What is constant change?
constant means always change means different =always different
When does distance travelled by a particle is proportional to time?
It is proportional if the velocity doesn't change over time.
What is the constant rate of change in y with respect to the constant change in x?
A linear relationship.
What is the differences between constant and proportional error?
A constant error is something that does not change as the variable you are observing changes. For example, a set of scales that are always 0.3kg off. No matter who is standing on them, they will always get a reading that is 0.3kg greater than their actual mass. A proportional error changes as the variable you are observing changes, but more importantly it changes in a way that can be predicted.
What is the relationship among proportional relationships lines rates of change and slope?
For each of the following relationships, graph the proportional relationship between the two quantities, write the equation representing the relationship, and describe how the unit rate, or slope is represented on the graph.
Can you have constant speed but change in velocity?
Velocity will always change in speed.
How does voltage change in relation to current assuming that resistance remains constant?
Ohm's Law: voltage = current * resistance. If resistance is a constant, then voltage is directly proportional to current.
