5. Graphs of Proportional Relationships

Does the line pass through the origin?
Graph:
Is the Relationship Proportional? No.
Explanation: The line passing through the given points does not pass through the origin.
Before we begin, let's take a look at the information given in the table of values.
Hours, x | 0 | 1 | 2 |
---|---|---|---|
Miles, y | 50 | 100 | 150 |
First, let's plot the given points.
The graph of a proportional relation is a single, straight line in the coordinate plane that passes through the origin. Let's check if we can pass a single line through these points and the origin.
Since the line does not pass through the origin, so x and y are not proportional.
