Math Problem Statement
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:
-
The relationship is proportional
- False: A proportional relationship must pass through the origin , which this graph does not.
-
The relationship is not proportional
- True: The line does not pass through the origin, so it is not proportional.
-
The graph does not pass through the origin
- True: The graph does not pass through .
-
The graph passes through the origin
- False: The line does not intersect the origin.
-
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.
