Solution
To determine which of the given graphs show a proportional relationship, we need to understand the key characteristics of such a relationship:
- Straight Line Passing Through the Origin: A proportional relationship is represented by a straight line that passes through the origin .
- Constant Ratio: The ratio should be constant for all points on the line.
Let's analyze each option:
-
Choice A:
- If this graph shows a straight line passing through the origin, it would indicate a proportional relationship.
-
Choice B:
- The same applies here; a straight line through the origin would suggest proportionality.
-
Choice C:
- "None of the above" indicates that neither Choice A nor B exhibits proportionality.
Conclusion:
Without visual details of the graphs, it's difficult to definitively state which option shows a proportional relationship. Generally, if a graph shows a straight line through the origin, then it would be proportional.
If you'd like, you can describe the graphs in more detail or upload an image of them, and I can analyze them more accurately.

- How can you test whether a set of data points shows a proportional relationship?
Tip: In a proportional relationship, every point on the line has coordinates such that , where is the constant of proportionality.
