Question

Graph the line that passes through the coordinates below and determine which statement is true.

(2,3) (3,4.5) (4,6) (6,9)


A.
The line that passes through the given coordinates does not represent a proportional relationship because the line passes through the origin.
B.
The line that passes through the given coordinates represents a proportional relationship because the line passes through the origin.
C.
The line that passes through the given coordinates does not represent a proportional relationship because the line does not pass through the origin.
D.
The line that passes through the given coordinates represents a proportional relationship because the line does not pass through the origin.

Answer 1

The line that passes through the given coordinates represents a proportional relationship because the line passes through the origin--the correct answer is B.

Explanation:

You first graph the coordinates shown, then you repeat the same pattern until the answer is revealed which is shown in the column above. Also, a reminder to all a proportional line is a line that goes through the origin ((0,0)).

Answer 2

the correct answer is: C. The line that passes through the given coordinates does not represent a proportional relationship because the line does not pass through the origin.

Explanation:

A straight line passing through the points (1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6) and (7, 8) does not pass through the origin, as shown on the graph below.

Therefore, the line that passes through the given coordinates does not represent a proportional relationship because the line does not pass through the origin.
