Answer:
No, the equation m=0.75d-2 does not represent proportional relationship.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is
[tex]m=0.75d-2[/tex]
We need to check whether the given equation represents proportional relationship or not.
If variable y is proportional to variable x, then
[tex]y\propto x[/tex]
[tex]y=kx[/tex]
where, k is the constant of proportionality.
At x=0 the value of y is 0. It means, if a linear equation represents proportional relationship then it must be passes though the origin.
Substitute d=0 in the given equation.
[tex]m=0.75(0)-2[/tex]
[tex]m=-2[/tex]
The line passes through the point (0,-2).
Since the line does not pass through the origin, therefore it does not represent proportional relationship.
