Question

Which equation shows a proportional relationship?

A) y= 3x - 1
B) y= 5x
C) y= 3x^2
D) y= 1/5x + 10

Answer 1

B represents a proportional relationship

Answer 2

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.
