Math Problem Statement

This graph represents which proportional relationship?

Solution

The graph you shared represents a proportional relationship. From the way the line passes through the origin (0,0) and has a negative slope, it indicates an inverse proportionality. This means that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases in a linear fashion, suggesting a negative proportional relationship.

Would you like more details on this type of relationship, or have any specific questions about it?

Here are five related questions for further exploration:

  1. How do you calculate the slope of a proportional relationship from a graph?
  2. What distinguishes direct proportionality from inverse proportionality in graphs?
  3. What are real-world examples of negative proportional relationships?
  4. How do you write the equation of this proportional relationship?
  5. How would the graph look for a positive proportional relationship?

Tip: Always check whether the line passes through the origin (0,0) to confirm if the relationship is proportional!
