At a cookout, Mrs. Crawford makes 8/9 pound of chicken, plus 1 pound for each guest. Is the relationship between the number of guests and pounds of chicken proportional? Explain.

No, this rel. is not proportional because of the addition involved ("plus 1 lb for each guest").

A proportional rel. features mult. only.

Step-by-step explanation:

et x represents the number of guest and y represents the number of pounds of chicken made,

Given,

The number of pounds of chicken for each guest = 1,

So, the number of pounds for x guests = x,

Also, the number of pounds already made =

Thus, the total pounds of chicken,

Since, a relation is called proportional if the variables are directly proportional,

That is, the line obtained by the relation passes through the origin,

Since, if x = 0, y = 0,

∴ Line  does not pass through the origin.
