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.

Is the line automatically nonproportional if it doesnt pass through the origin'?

No. The rectangular hyperbola does not pass through the origin but it represents inverse proportionality.


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.


What is a nonproportional relationship?

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.


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

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.
