Is [tex]y = 5x[/tex] proportional or non-proportional?

Question

macio06 · Answer

Its proportional, because if we increase y by for example 3, value of x will increase by 3 too. Both variable are to the power of 1, its important to say that its proporional, because when one of them would be to the power of 2 we will lose the proportionality.

The equation y = 5 x is proportional because it can be expressed in the form y = k x where k = 5 . This means that as x increases, y increases by a constant multiple (5 in this case). The relationship can be represented as a straight line graph that passes through the origin.
