What is a linear relationship?

A linear relationship is a relationship in which each term has at max one degree. Linear equation in variable x and y can be written in the form y = mx + c.

A linear relationship with two variables, when graphed on the cartesian plane with axes of those variables, gives a straight line.

For the given relationship to be proportional, the number of pages read should be the same every day. Therefore, the ratio of the number of pages to the number of days should be equal.

85/1 = 85

170/2 = 85

249/3 = 83

340/4 = 85

435/5 = 87

Hence, the correct option is D, The relationship is not proportional because the ratio of pages to days is not constant.
