What is the contrapositive of the conditional statement? If two variables are directly proportional, then their graph is a linear function. If two variables are directly proportional, then their graph is not a linear function. If two variables are not directly proportional, then their graph is not a linear function. If the graph of two variables is a linear function, then the two variables are directly proportional. If the graph of two variables is not a linear function, then the two variables are not directly proportional

Answer:

D. "If the graph of two variables is not a linear function, then the two variables are not directly proportional"

Explanation:

The contrapositive of a statement is basically you changing the conditional part of the statement with its result and then finding the negative of both. This is called Contraposition.

So, for the statement given:

"If two variables are directly proportional, then their graph is a linear function."

The contrapositive will be:

"If the graph of two variables is not a linear function, then the two variables are not directly proportional"
