Answer:

Option A) Only graph A represents a proportional relationship

Explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
y/x=k or
y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

therefore

Graph A represent a proportional relationship, because the line passes through the origin
