Math Problem Statement
Solution
The graph in the image shows a straight line passing through the origin (0, 0) on a coordinate plane. Since the line goes through the origin and is straight, this indicates a proportional relationship between the variables on the x-axis and y-axis. In a proportional relationship, the ratio between the two variables remains constant, and the graph of such a relationship is always a straight line that passes through the origin.
So, the correct answer is Yes, this graph represents a proportional relationship.
