Explanation:

Question 1

To determine the correct statements about the graphical features of proportional relationships, we recall the definition of a proportional relationship. A proportional relationship is of the form \( y = kx \), where \( k \) is the constant of proportionality.

Step 1: Analyze statement a

A proportional relationship is a linear function, so its graph is a straight line. So statement a is correct.

Step 2: Analyze statement b

For \( y = kx \), when \( x = 0 \), \( y = 0 \). So the \( y \)-intercept is \( 0 \). Statement b is correct.

Step 3: Analyze statement c

Since when \( x = 0 \), \( y = 0 \), the line passes through the origin \((0,0)\). Statement c is correct.

Step 4: Analyze statement d

The \( x \)-intercept is found by setting \( y = 0 \). For \( y = kx \), \( 0=kx \) implies \( x = 0 \) (assuming \( k
eq0 \)). So the \( x \)-intercept is \( 0 \). Statement d is correct.

Step 5: Analyze statement e

As shown in steps 2 and 3, the line passes through \((0,0)\). Statement e is correct.

A proportional relationship has the form \( y = kx \), which means the line must pass through the origin \((0,0)\) (since when \( x = 0 \), \( y = 0 \)) and be a straight line.

Step 1: Examine each line

  • Line A: Passes through the origin? From the graph, Line A starts at the origin? Wait, looking at the graph, Line A: Let's check the intercept. Wait, the graph: Line A, B, C, D, E. Wait, Line B has a \( y \)-intercept of 4, Line C has a \( y \)-intercept of 2, Line A: Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, the origin is \((0,0)\). Lines that pass through \((0,0)\) are A, D, E? Wait, no, let's look again. Wait, the graph: Line A: when \( x = 0 \), \( y = 0 \)? Wait, the grid: the origin is at (0,0). Line A: starts at (0,0)? Wait, Line B: at \( x = 0 \), \( y = 4 \). Line C: at \( x = 0 \), \( y = 2 \). Line A: at \( x = 0 \), \( y = 0 \)? Wait, the graph shows Line A, D, E passing through (0,0)? Wait, Line A: from (0,0) going up steeply. Line D: from (0,0) with moderate slope. Line E: from (0,0) with shallow slope. Line B: \( y \)-intercept 4, Line C: \( y \)-intercept 2. So proportional relationships are lines that pass through the origin (since \( y = kx \) has \( y \)-intercept 0). So Lines A, D, E pass through the origin, so they represent proportional relationships. Lines B and C have non - zero \( y \)-intercepts, so they are not proportional.

Answer:

a. The graph is a straight line.
b. The line has a \( y \)-intercept of 0.
c. The line passes through the origin.
d. The line has an \( x \)-intercept of 0.
e. The line passes through the point \((0,0)\).
