No. A proportional relationship has the form y = kx, so its graph is a straight line through the origin with a constant slope (constant y/x). A curved graph does not have a constant slope or constant ratio y/x, so it cannot be written as y = kx. Therefore a curve (or two curved pieces) is not a proportional relationship.
