Diego made a graph of two quantities that he measured and said, “The points all lie on a line except one, which is a little bit above the line. This means that the quantities can’t be proportional.” Do you agree with Diego? Explain.

PLS HELP ME FAST (and thanks)

Given statement is “The points all lie on a line except one, which is a little bit above the line. This means that the quantities can’t be proportional.”

We know that points linear graph means both variables participating in that graph are proportional. But since 1 point does't lies on the graph so we can say that the given two quantities are NOT proportional just because of that 1 point.

Hence Yes I agree with Diego's answer.
