Answer 1

Determine whether the graph represents a proportional relationship.

A graph is shown. The x-axis is labeled from 0 to 9. The y-axis is labeled from 0 to 17. Four points are shown on the graph on ordered pairs 0, 4 and 2, 8 and 3, 12 and 4, 16. These points are joined by a line. The label on the x-axis is Number of boats. The title on the y-axis is Number of passengers.

Yes, it is a proportional relationship because the graph goes through the origin
No, it is not a proportional relationship because the graph does not go through the origin
Yes, it is a proportional relationship because the graph is a straight line
No, it is not a proportional relationship because the graph is not a straight line

Answer 3

proportional relationships always pass through the origin.

Another test is if you divide the corresponding x and y values, they give the same ratios.
Example:
Proportional relationship:
(1,2),(2,4),(3,6),(4,8)...
Use (2,4) and (4,8)
y/x=4/2 = 8/4 so proportional
This should work for ANY pair of points.

Answer 4

So its A @mathmate

Answer 5

Does your graph pass through the origin?

Answer 6

Yyes

Answer 7

Did you give me the point (0,4)? (0,4) is not origin, (0,0) is!

Answer 8

Yes

Answer 9

To avoid confusion, when you give your suggested answer, do not say A, B or any other letter. Please copy and paste the answer, this way you will confirm it mentally while we are communicating.
Can you give me your suggested answer again?

Answer 12

Yes, it is a proportional relationship because the graph goes through the origin
No, it is not a proportional relationship because the graph does not go through the origin
Yes, it is a proportional relationship because the graph is a straight line
No, it is not a proportional relationship because the graph is not a straight line

Answer 13

Select you attempt and post it in words to confirm your choice, please.
IF you suggest C is the choice, do not say C, but say
"yes, it is a proportional relationship because the graph is a straight line"

So what is your answer (not choice)
