Determine whether the equation y = 2x + 4 represents a proportional relationship. Explain your choice. You may want to make a table of values for x and y or make a graph on a separate sheet of paper to support your reasoning.

Answer:It does not represent a proportional relationship; it represents a non-proportional relationships.Step-by-step explanation:1. All proportional relationships follow the following equation: y = kx.
- y = y-coordinate
- k = constant of proportionality/slope
- x = x-coordinate
2. Because the equation y = 2x + 4 does not follow y = kx (because it has + 4), it is not proportional.Therefore, the equation does not represent a proportional relationship.
