Answer:

The graph cannot represent a proportional relationship

Explanation:

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form. 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 (0,0) . That means, ----> The x-intercept and the y-intercept of the line must to be the origin (0,0).

If the given line passes through the point (0,5), then the line does not pass through the origin. Therefore, the graph cannot represent a proportional relationship
