Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

A. the y-intercept is positive

D. the y-intercept is negative

A proportional relationship is characterized by the equation ...

y = kx

The y-intercept of this equation is zero--the line intersects the origin.

If the y-intercept is not zero (is positive or negative), then the relation is nonproportional.
