The equation y = 6x + 6 describes the relationship between quantities x and y. Are the quantities in a proportional relay?

Answer 1

No, the quantities x and y are not in a proportional relationship. In a proportional relationship, as x increases or decreases, y would increase or decrease in a consistent ratio. However, in the given equation y = 6x + 6, the slope or coefficient of x (6) indicates that for every increase in x by 1, y would increase by 6. Hence, the ratio between x and y is not constant and therefore, they are not in a proportional relationship.
