8.EE.6
Describe the relationship between the proportional relationship expressed in y = mx and the non-proportional linear relationship y = mx + b as a result of a vertical translation. Note: be clear with students that all linear relationships have a constant rate of change (slope), but only the special case of proportional relationships (line that goes through the origin) continue to have a constant of proportionality
