Answer:

The answer is TRUE.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the answer, we have to know about the directly proportional. The directly proportional is when two variables increase at the same time. If one variable is increased, so the other one will be increase too.

The ratio of both is a constant, it is called "constant of variation".

For example:

A varies directly as B, so:

\frac{A}{B}=k

where k is the constant of variation

In this case, we have that Y varies directly as X. Also if Y is 2 when X is 8, the constant of variation is:

Y=2\\X=8\\\\\frac{Y}{X}=k\\\\\frac{2}{8}=k\\\\k=\frac{1}{4}

Finally, according to the value of the constant of variation, the statement is TRUE.

When y = 2, x = 8.

This can be written as: 2/8.

Simplified: 1/4

True

Please help it is math
olasank [31]

Answer:

A linear function has the form y=mx+b

A line has a proportional relationship if y/x is always the same ratio for any value.

The slope m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) for some two points on a line is always constant, else it wouldn't create a line.

A line won't be proportional if you adapt b because the ratio of y/x won't match the slope anymore.

In the end this means all lines with proportional relationships must intersect (0,0) or in other words f(0)=0.

This happens if they have the shape y=mx.
