Writing Equations for Proportional Relationships from Graphs

What is the key characteristic of a proportional relationship graph?

• It has a constant rate of change and starts at the origin.

• It has a variable rate of change and starts at any point.

• It has a variable rate of change and starts at the origin.

• It has a constant rate of change and starts at any point.

Why can't a graph be proportional if it doesn't start at the origin?

• Because the ratio y/x would not be constant.

• Because the graph would have a variable rate of change.

• Because the ratio y/x would be constant.

• Because the graph would be a straight line.
