Does the equation y = x/2

represent a proportional relationship?
Yes, because the coefficient of x is positive
No, because it is not in the form y=kx
No, because its graph does not pass through the origin
Yes, because its graph is a line that passes through the origin
QUICK PLEASE!! TY!

Answer:

  • D) Yes, because its graph is a line that passes through the origin

--------------------------

The form of the equation of a proportional relation is:

  • y = kx, where k is the coefficient.

In the given case y = 1/2x, where k = 1/2, so it represents proportional relationship.

Answer choices:

A. Yes, because the coefficient of x is positive.

  • False, as the coefficient of x can be negative too.

B. No, because it is not in the form y = kx.

  • False, as it is in the form of y = kx.

C. No, because its graph does not pass through the origin.

  • False, graph passes through the origin.

D. Yes, because its graph is a line that passes through the origin

  • True, the graph passes through the origin; y = 0 at x = 0 regardless the value of k.
