I will solve this problem by analyzing each of the 8 graphs to determine if they represent a proportional or non-proportional relationship. The key criterion, as stated in the image, is whether the graph passes through the origin (0,0).
I'll examine each graph one by one.
Graph 1:
- This is a straight line with a negative slope.
- Looking at the graph, it appears to pass through the origin (0,0), where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.
- Since it passes through the origin, this is a
proportional relationship.
Graph 2:
- This is a straight line with a positive slope.
- The line clearly does not pass through the origin; it intersects the y-axis at a positive value (approximately y=2) and the x-axis at a negative value.
- Since it does not pass through the origin, this is a
non-proportional relationship.
Graph 3:
- This is a straight line with a negative slope.
- The line intersects the y-axis at a positive value (approximately y=4) and the x-axis at a positive value (approximately x=2).
- It does not pass through the origin, so this is a
non-proportional relationship.
Graph 4:
- This is a straight line with a positive slope.
- The line passes directly through the origin (0,0).
- Since it passes through the origin, this is a
proportional relationship.
Graph 5:
- This is a straight line with a very small positive slope.
- The line passes directly through the origin (0,0).
- Since it passes through the origin, this is a
proportional relationship.
Graph 6:
- This is a straight line with a positive slope.
- The line intersects the y-axis at a negative value (approximately y=-2) and the x-axis at a positive value (approximately x=4).
- It does not pass through the origin, so this is a
non-proportional relationship.
Graph 7:
- This is a straight line with a negative slope.
- The line intersects the y-axis at a positive value (approximately y=3) and the x-axis at a positive value (approximately x=6).
- It does not pass through the origin, so this is a
non-proportional relationship.
Graph 8:
- This is a straight line with a very steep positive slope.
- The line passes directly through the origin (0,0).
- Since it passes through the origin, this is a
proportional relationship.
