Question

1. graph characteristics

list two characteristics a graph must have to represent a proportional relationship.

1.
2.

Explanation:

Identify proportional graph requirements

A proportional relationship represented on a coordinate plane is modeled by the equation \(y = kx\), where \(k\) is the constant of proportionality.

Determine geometric characteristics

1. The graph must be a straight line.
2. The graph must pass through the origin \((0, 0)\).

Answer:

1. It must be a straight line.
2. It must pass through the origin \((0, 0)\).
