In mathematics, or physics, if one quantity is proportional to the other, that means that if one quantity increases by a certain factor, the other quantity increases by the same factor. For example, if"y" is proportional to "x", and "x" increases by a factor 10, then "y" must also increase by a factor 10. Any relationaship that does NOT follow this rule is NOT proportional.

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.
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 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 difference between linear and non linear?
Linear describes a relationship that exhibits a straight line when plotted on a graph, for example. Non liner is any thing other than a straight line.
Is 120-xL proportional or not proportional?
It is an expression, not an equation and so cannot be proportional nor non-proportional.
