Answer:

B) y = 5x

Explanation:

Proportional relationships are relationships that:

  • follow the form y = kx (k = constant of proportionality)
  • have a y-intercept of 0 (they go through the origin)
  • have a constant of proportionality.

Thus, the equation that follows y = kx is B) y = 5x.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
