Answer 2

Do you know the definition of "linear" and "proportional" ?

Answer 3

linear, means that the graph is a line. (With always the same rate of change)
proportional, means that there is a direct relation between y and x, like if you multiply times x whatever number, you will always get the y.

Answer 4

for it to be proportional, it has to not involve any "+b" (as in "y=mx+b" it would be just "y=mx" ) right?

Answer 5

so what do you pick? (let me know if you need more help.)

Answer 6

A right?
