Answer:
Each point (or pair in a proportional relationship) must share the same difference
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph of a proportional relation is a straight line through the origin. Such a line has the same ratio of y/x everywhere.
A relation in which the difference is constant will be a straight line, but it won't be through the origin. Such a relation is not proportional.
-13+7k-4=23+16k-2
-13-4=23+9k-2
15=23+9k
-8=9k
-8/9=k
A coefficient of r = -1 is a negative so the dots would move downward as they move to the right ( higher dots are on the left side, lower dots on the right side. As the coefficient gets closer to -1 the dots form more of a straight line then being scattered across the graph.
The last graph, which is marked with the blue dot is the correct one.
He started with 17 quarter's. He had a certain number of quarters he added to his collection each day, on day two he had 26, and two days later he had 35, meaning he increased the amount of quarters my 9 over two day's, so I subtracted 9 from 26 because if you do you can remove the quarters he added in from the ones he started with, so the answer is: He started with 17.
