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.
