Question

Consider the equation y = 1.5x + 2. Find four pairs of x and y values that make
the equation true. Plot the points (x, y) on the coordinate plane.
Based on the graph, can this be a proportional relationship? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. (2,5),(1,3.5),(4,8),(6,11)

2. This is not a proportional relationship (explanation below)

Step-by-step explanation:

For the plotting, if you take some random x values and multiply by 1.5 and add 2 to them.  

This can't be a proportional relationship. A proportional relationship means the x and y values' ratios have to stay the same. However, because 2 is added to 1.5x, the equation is not proportional.

Answer 2

Answer:

points (2,3.5) (4,8) (2,5) (6,11)

Step-by-step explanation:

its not proportional because 2 is added to 1.5 so the equation is not proportional
