Answer:

The equation y = 3x shows a proportional relationship between x and y

Explanation:

  • The proportional relationship is represented graphically by a line passes through the origin point
  • The equation of the proportional relationship is y = m x

Let us solve the question

Substitute x by 0 to find the value of y, if y = 0, then the line represents this equation passes through the origin point, then the equation shows a proportional relationship

∵ y = 3x

x = 0

∴ y = 3(0)

y = 0

→ That means the line that represents the equation passes through

the origin point

The equation y = 3x shows a proportional relationship between x and y
