Answer:

A, D, E

Explanation:

When the graph of a relation is a straight line, the relation is said to be "linear." When the graph of the line goes through the origin (x, y) = (0, 0), then the relation is both "linear" and "proportional."

The "rate of change" of a line is the ratio of "rise" to "run". On a graph of a line, it is convenient to determine "rise" and "run" using points where the line crosses grid intersections. Of course, there is a crossing here at (0, 0). We notice another grid intersection crossing at the point corresponding to x=2 and y = -6. Then the "rise" (y-change) divided by the "run" (x-change) is ...

rate of change = rise/run = -6/2 = -3

__

The equation of a line representing a proportion is of the form ...

y = kx

for some constant k. That constant is the "rate of change" of the proportion. Here, we found that rate of change to be -3, so the equation of the line is ...

y = -3x
