Why does. the equation y=3x+5 not represent a proportional relationship

The equation not represent a proportional relationship because the line don't passes through the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form or

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

so

In this problem we have

This is the equation of the line in slope intercept form

where

the slope is m=5

the y-intercept is b=5

Remember that in a proportional relationship the value of b must be equal to zero (because the line passes through the origin)

therefore

The equation not represent a proportional relationship because the line don't passes through the origin

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
