Question

Alberto started out bench pressing 60 pounds. He then added 5 pounds every week. Determine whether the situation is linear or nonlinear, and proportional or nonproportional

Answer 1

linear

nonproportional

Explanation:

Since for each equal change in time (1 week), there is an equal change in weight (5 lb), the situation is linear.

At time zero, the first week, the weight was not zero. It was 60 lb, so it is not proportional.

Answer:

linear

nonproportional
