Ellen · Answer 1

Yes, this function of x represents a proportional relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function of x is given as y = 0.5x - 2.

Yes, this function of x represents a proportional relationship between x and y.

The constant of proportionality is given to be 0.5 provided that the dependent variable y has an initial value of - 2 at x = 0.

The graph of this equation will be a straight line and that means that the equation consists of a proportional relationship. (Answer)
