Consider the two graphs below. On a coordinate plane, graph 1 has a line that goes through points (0, 3) and (2, 6). Graph 2 has a line that goes through (0, 0), (1, 5), (2, 10). Which statement best describes the graphs? Graph 1 represents a proportional relationship, but graph 2 does not. Graph 2 represents a proportional relationship, but graph 1 does not. Both graph 1 and graph 2 represent proportional relationships. Neither graph 1 nor graph 2 represents a proportional relationship.

Answer:

The correct answer to this question would be B. Graph 2 represents a proportional relationship, but graph 1 does not. This is because graph two is the only graph that's line passes through the origin.

Explanation:

Hope this helps, and have a very wonderful day! :)

Answer:

B) Graph 2 represents a proportional relationship, but graph 1 does not.

Explanation:

The answer would be B because Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent. Another way to think about them is that, in a proportional relationship, one variable is always a constant value times the other. That constant is know as the "constant of proportionality". Directly proportional relationships always pass through the origin (0,0). There are other linear relationships that do not pass through the origin.
