To solve this problem, we need to determine whether each graph represents a
proportional or
non-proportional relationship based on the key rule:
>
A proportional relationship passes through the origin (0, 0).
>
A non-proportional relationship does not pass through the origin.
We will examine each graph and check if it goes through the point (0, 0).

✔ Step-by-step analysis:
####
Graph 1
- The line crosses the y-axis at a point above the origin (around y = 2).
- It
does not pass through (0, 0).
-
Answer: non-proportional
####
Graph 2
- The line passes through the origin (0, 0).
- It is a straight line going through the center.
-
Answer: proportional
####
Graph 3
- The line appears to cross the y-axis at a positive value (around y = 4).
- It
does not go through (0, 0).
-
Answer: non-proportional
####
Graph 4
- The line crosses the y-axis below the origin (around y = -2).
- It
does not pass through (0, 0).
-
Answer: non-proportional
####
Graph 5
- The line passes through the origin (0, 0).
- It's a straight line starting from the origin and extending in both directions.
-
Answer: proportional
####
Graph 6
- The line crosses the y-axis at a negative value (around y = -1).
- It
does not pass through (0, 0).
-
Answer: non-proportional
####
Graph 7
- The line passes through the origin (0, 0).
- It’s a straight diagonal line going through the center.
-
Answer: proportional
####
Graph 8
- The line passes through the origin (0, 0).
- Even though it's steep, it clearly goes through (0, 0).
-
Answer: proportional
