Question

Change y = ½ x - 4 (non proportional) to proportional

Answer 1

To change the equation y = ½x - 4 (non-proportional) to proportional form, we need to remove the constant term (-4) and convert the coefficient of x (½) to a whole number.

We can achieve this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2:

2y = 2(½x - 4)
2y = x - 8

Now, the equation 2y = x - 8 is in proportional form.
