Question

Which statement best explains if the graph correctly represents the proportional relationship y = 0. 5x? A coordinate plane is shown. Points are graphed at 1 comma 0. 5 and 4 comma 2. The points are joined by a line. Yes, the points shown on the line would be part of y = 0. 5x Yes, all proportions can be shown on a graph of this line No, the points shown would not be part of y = 0. 5x No, proportions cannot be represented on a graph.

Answer 1

Yes, the points shown on the line would be part of y = 0.5x.

We have to determine

Which statement best explains if the graph correctly represents the proportional relationship y = 0.5x?

According to the question

In the graph, the line goes through (0, 0).  

If x = 0, we have

y = 0.5(0) =0.  

This is the y-coordinate of the point, so it goes through this.

The equation for this line is in slope-intercept form,

y= m.x +b,

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.  

In this equation, m=0.5 and b=0. T

This means the slope is 0.5 or 1/2; since the slope is rise/run, the line rises 1 for every horizontal increase of 2.  

This means starting from (0, 0), we would go up 1 and over 2, creating the point (2, 1).  Looking at the graph, the line goes through this point.

Next, we would go up 1 and over 2 again, to (4, 2).  

Again, the line goes through this point.

Hence,  Yes, the points shown on the line would be part of y = 0.5x.
