Question

Decide whether or not each equation represents a proportional relationship a. The remaining length (L) of 120-inch rope after x inches have been cut off: 12O - x = L

Answer 1

Answer:

see the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

we have

The remaining length (L) of 120-inch rope after x inches have been cut off

we have

L ---> is the dependent variable (output variable)

x ---> the independent variable (input variable)

The linear equation is

$L=120-x$

The equation not represent a proportional relationship, because the line not passes through the origin
