What does it mean if a graph passes through the origin?

Back

If a graph passes through the origin, it indicates that the relationship is proportional, meaning that when one quantity is zero, the other quantity is also zero.

If a table shows the values (2, 4), (3, 6), (4, 8), is it proportional?

Back

Yes, the table is proportional because the ratio of y to x is constant (y/x = 2).

What is an example of a non-proportional relationship?

Back

An example of a non-proportional relationship is y = 2x + 3, as it does not pass through the origin.
