Question

Make a sketch of a linear relationship with slope 3 that is not a proportional relationship show how you know hay slope is 3 write an equation for the line

Answer 1

Answer:

A proportional relationship is something like:

y = k*x

Where k is the constant of proportionality

And a linear relationship is something like:

y = a*x + b

Is easy to see that if:

a = k, and b = 0, this would be a proportional relationship.

Then if we want to have a slope equal to 3, but this must not be a proportional relationship, we must only have b different than 0.

This could be something like:

y = 3*x + 1

The graph of this is:
