Question

My homework says, "Does the graph represent a proportional relationship? Why or why not? You MUST explain to get credit."

Answer 1

Answer:

No, the graph does not represent a proportional relationship. It is a straight line, but it does not intersect the point (0, 0). ... It's not proportional because the line does not cross through the origin. Therefore the ratio of x to y will be different for two different points on the line.
