y=6x+4 is linear but not proportional because it doesn't have any exponents causing it to be Linear ....it is not proportional because it is not in y=mx form
y=8x is linear and proportional because it is in y=mx form and doesn't have any exponents
y=x-3 is linear and not proportional because it is not in y=mx form it is not proportional ..... it is linear because it has no exponents
y=9x^2+1 is not linear and is not proportional....it is not linear because it has an exponent and not proportional because it is not in y=mx form
Well it's similar because it uses the numbers to number the line and used as measurements and it's different because it has more precise measurements for whatever it is that u r doing
