Which equation does NOT represent a proportional relationship between two variables with the constant of proportinality of? 1/2 A Y=X+1/2 B Y=1/2X C Y=3/6X D Y=0.5X

Respuesta :

Answer:

(D) [tex]y=x+\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Two variables x and y are proportionally related  if they can be written in the form y=kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

From the given options, if [tex]k=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

(B)[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x[/tex] is of the form y=kx

(C)[tex]y=\frac{3}{6}x[/tex] is of the form y=kx with [tex]k=\frac{1}{2}[/tex] as [tex]\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex] in its lowest form.

(C)[tex]y=0.5x[/tex] is of the form y=kx with [tex]k=\frac{1}{2}[/tex] as [tex]0.5=\frac{1}{2}[/tex] in fractional form.

On the Contrary,

In Option D, [tex]y=x+\frac{1}{2}[/tex] does not represent a proportional relationship between x and y. The constant of proportion is supposed to be a product of x.
