Math Problem Statement

Is this graph proportional or non- proportional

Solution

The graph you provided shows a straight line that passes through the origin (0,0)(0,0). In mathematical terms, this indicates a proportional relationship.

Explanation:

  • A relationship is proportional if the graph is a straight line that goes through the origin. This means that the ratio between the variables (e.g., y/xy/x) is constant.
  • Since the line on your graph does pass through the origin, it confirms that the relationship is proportional.

Here are some related questions you might find interesting:

  1. What is the general form of the equation for a proportional relationship?
  2. How do you determine the constant of proportionality from a graph?
  3. What are examples of real-life proportional relationships?
  4. How does a non-proportional relationship look on a graph?
  5. Can a proportional relationship ever be nonlinear?

Tip: Remember, if the line does not pass through the origin but is still straight, the relationship is linear but not proportional.
