Does a graph showing direct proportion always have to be a straight line?

Assuming both the scales on the graph are linear (that is to say that the numbers go up evenly) then YES, a graph which shows direct proportion must be a straight line. It must also pass through the origin (0,0). A straight line which does not pass through the origin is NOT showing direct proportion. Duncan
