It is a relationship which is non-linear. The same amount of change in the independent variable brings about different amounts of changes in the dependent variable and these differences depend on the initial values of the independent variable.
a number that is not rational real and can be used in an equatuion
No. The rectangular hyperbola does not pass through the origin but it represents inverse proportionality.
Any relationship in which at least one pair of measurements has a different ratio to that for other pairs. Equivalently, it is a relationship in which all the points cannot be plotted as a straight line through the origin.
It is directly proportional.
The answer is proportional.

Table The difference in the values of the "dependent" variable is a fixed multiple of the difference between the corresponding values of the independent variable. And the value of the dependent variable is non-zero when the independent is zero.Graph A non-vertical straight line which does not pass through the origin.Equation y = mx + c (or equivalent) where m is some real number and c is non-zero.
