The statement "Only proportionate transformations of the form y = bx, where b is a positive constant are allowed" is not true about the interval scale. On an interval scale, both the zero point and the units of measurement are arbitrary, and numerically equal distances on the scale represent equal values in the characteristics being measured. However, transformations of the form y = a + bx (where a and b are constants) are also allowed on an interval scale.
