A graph shows a proportional relationship if it is a straight line that passes through the origin (0,0). This indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable increases at a constant rate. Additionally, the ratio of the two variables remains constant throughout the graph. If the line is not straight or does not pass through the origin, the relationship is not proportional.
1. You can tell the difference because the proportional one has the same slope while the inversely one has opposite reciprocal slope.
Proportional. linear
Directly proportional relationship is F=ma, F is directly proportional to a. Inversely proportional relationship is v=r/t, v is inversely proportional to t.
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.
