Math Problem Statement

Select all the statements that are true for the linear relationship shown.

Solution

Let's analyze the given graph and statements:

The graph shows a straight line with a negative slope that does not pass through the origin. Here's a breakdown of the options:

  1. The relationship is proportional

    • False: A proportional relationship must pass through the origin (0,0)(0, 0), which this graph does not.
  2. The relationship is not proportional

    • True: The line does not pass through the origin, so it is not proportional.
  3. The graph does not pass through the origin

    • True: The graph does not pass through (0,0)(0, 0).
  4. The graph passes through the origin

    • False: The line does not intersect the origin.
  5. The slope is the same as the unit rate

    • True: In a linear relationship, the slope represents the constant rate of change, which is also the unit rate.

Correct answers:

  • The relationship is not proportional.
  • The graph does not pass through the origin.
  • The slope is the same as the unit rate.
