Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Hank

Hank paid $2,000 upfront when he bought his car, and he pays $200 each month.

This relation is:  

• H(x) = 2000 + 200x

This is proportional but not directly proportional.

Lynn

Lynn did not pay any money upfront when she bought her car, and she pays $275 each month.

 This relation is:  

• L(x) = 275x

This is directly proportional.

So the answer is:

Yes, the relationship between the number of months and the total amount paid is proportional for both Hank's and Lynn's loans.
