Identifying Proportional Relationships from Graphs

What are the two main criteria for a graph to represent a proportional relationship?

• Must be a line and have a constant slope

• Must be a curve and have varying slopes

• Must be a line and pass through the origin

• Must be a curve and pass through the origin

What indicates a proportional relationship in a graph?

• A curve through the origin

• A straight line not through the origin

• A varying slope

• A straight line through the origin

Why is it important for a proportional relationship's graph to pass through the origin?

• It shows there is no relationship

• It means the variables are not related

• It suggests a varying rate of change

• It indicates a constant rate of change
