Y = 2x + 4 is it a non-proportional or proportional linear relationship? how do i solve this?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

You have to know that a direct variation is a linear equation with y intercept 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya i do so am i just showing if the line is straight on a realgraph

OpenStudy (mertsj):

It is a linear equation but it is not a direct proportion.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kinda confused on what ur saying

OpenStudy (mertsj):

your question says is y=2x+4 a proportional or non-proportional linear relationship.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

First of all, let us agree that it IS a linear relationship.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So now the question is: is it proportional or non-proportional.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

If it is proportional, the y intercept will be 0. Is the y intercept 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no ist 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1y

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So you don't know what the y intercept is in the equation y = mx + b ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

srry but ur really ot helping ur just confusing me more

OpenStudy (mertsj):

sorry.
