Answer:

B

Explanation:

A proportional relationship is represented by linear function with its linear parameter "b" equal to zero. Since b is equal to zero, the line passes through the origin and the function/relation is proportional.

To verify that we divide the y coordinate over the x coordinate we obtain a constant called k, which is the slope.

For instance:


y=2x

According to this function we can easily check a proportional relationship among its points:


(1,2), (2,4), (4,8), (6,12), ...


k=(y)/(x)=(2)/(1)=(4)/(2)=(12)/(6)\Rightarrow k=2
