Answer:

A is true

Explanation:

y = -2/3x + 12

The initial value is 12....YES....the initial value is the y intercept...and in this equation, it is (0,12) or just 12

the slope is 12.....NO....the slope is -2/3

** in y = mx + b, the slope can be found in the m position and the y int (the initial value) can be found in the b position.

The graph passes thru the origin.....NO...u can find this out by subbing in (0,0) to see if ur equation is true...if it is not, then it does not pass through the origin.

the equation represents a proportional relationship...NO...for it to be proportional, it has to pass thru the origin (0,0)
