The graph of a linear proportion will be a straight line passing through the origin. The equation will have the form y = mx, also written as y = kx.

Does the graph represent a proportional or non-proportional liner relationship How do you know?

If the graph is a straight line through the origin, sloping upwards to the right, then it is a proportional linear relationship.


What is Linear and Non-Linear Relationships?

A linear relationship means that the slope of the line is proportional, which means that the line is straight. In contrast to the linear realtionship, the non-linear relationship's slope is not proportional and the line will curved and not straight. Formula of calculating the slope is the difference of y divided by the difference of x.


How can you decide whether a relationship is linear by studying the words used to describe a variable?

Words such as "proportional to" "increases as" "decreases as", usually give an indication of a linear relation. If there are words like "Square" "power" "inversely proportional" then most likely not linear.

What is the difference between linear and non linear scales?

A linear scale is a scale with equal divisions for equal vales, for example a ruler. A non linear scale is where the relationship between the variables is not directly proportional.


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


A straight line on a graph means there is a what relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable?

Proportional. linear


Is Y kx proportional or nonproportional?

The relationship Y = kx is proportional, where Y is directly proportional to x with a constant of proportionality k. This means that as x increases, Y also increases in a linear fashion. In a nonproportional relationship, the ratio of Y to x would not be constant, and the relationship could be more complex, such as quadratic or exponential.


How can you identify a linear non proportional relationship from a table a graph and an equation?

It is a relationship in which changes in one variable are accompanied by changes of a constant amount in the other variable and that the variables are not both zero.In terms of an equation, it requires y = ax + b where a and b are both non-zero.


What is the relationship between angular velocity and linear velocity in a rotating object?

The relationship between angular velocity and linear velocity in a rotating object is that they are directly proportional. This means that as the angular velocity of the object increases, the linear velocity also increases. The formula to calculate the linear velocity is linear velocity angular velocity x radius of rotation.


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.
