if h = 0.8 t
then h is proportional to t
Tell if the relationship of a riders height above the first floor and the time since the rider stepped on the elevator or escalator is proportional or non-proportional. Your height, h, in feet above the first floor on the escalator is given by h=0.8t, where t is the time in seconds. This equation has the form of y=mx+b where be (is or is not) equal to 0. Therefore it represents a proportional or non proportional relationship. Can someone please help me with this. I am truly lost on this one.

Oh I see what you are saying Damon that would make sense so that is how you can determine then that it is proportional is that right? Is there also any other way to figure that out?
That is what proportional means.
