Proportional and non-proportional relationships both describe how two variables interact and change in relation to one another. In both types of relationships, changes in one variable can affect the other, and they can be represented graphically, typically with a line. However, while proportional relationships maintain a constant ratio between the variables, non-proportional relationships do not, leading to different patterns in their graphs. Both are essential for understanding mathematical concepts and real-world applications.

How are proportional and non proportional linear relationships different?

Proportional linear relationships have a constant ratio between the two variables and pass through the origin (0,0), meaning that if one variable is zero, the other is also zero. In contrast, non-proportional linear relationships do not have a constant ratio and do not necessarily pass through the origin; they include a y-intercept that is not zero, indicating a fixed value when the independent variable is zero. This results in different graphs, with proportional relationships forming straight lines through the origin and non-proportional relationships forming straight lines that intersect the y-axis at a point other than the origin.


What is the meaning of non proportional relationship?

A non-proportional relationship refers to a type of relationship between two variables where the ratio between them is not constant. In such relationships, as one variable changes, the other may change, but not in a consistent or predictable manner that maintains a fixed ratio. Unlike proportional relationships, where doubling one variable results in a doubling of the other, non-proportional relationships can vary widely, often depicted in graphs as curves or lines that do not pass through the origin.

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.


Is 120-xL proportional or not proportional?

It is an expression, not an equation and so cannot be proportional nor non-proportional.
