When are 2 quantities proportional when it comes to a table or graph?

1) It has to go through the origin (0,0). 2) It has to be consistent.


What are the properties of proportional and non-proportional tables and graphs?

If two quantities are proportional, then they have a constant ratio.If the ratio is not constant, the two quantities are said to be non-proportional.Proportional will always go through the origin on a graph. (0,0)Graph will always be a straight line.Non-proportional line does not go through the origin.


How do you Graph the line that goes through the origin and has slope -4?

You start at the origin and go down 4, forward one. Continue doing that. Then, go up 4, back 1 starting back at the origin. Continue doing that.


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


What would the graph for the equation y2x look like?

If y is equal to 2x, the graph would be a straight line going through the origin. The line would go up and to the right, and the angle at the origin has a tangent equal to 2. This angle is between 63 and 64 degrees.


How does one find out if an equation's graph goes through the origin?

-- Take the equation -- Set either 'x' or 'y' equal to zero -- Solve the resulting equation for the remaining variable -- If the remaining variable is then also zero, then the origin is on the graph of the function If the graph is a straight line ('x' and 'y' appear in the equation only to the 1st power), then the equation has to be in the form of a simple ratio ... like (y = Kx) or (x = Ky) or (xy = K) or (x/y = K) ... in order to go through the origin.


Why are Kelvins easier than Celsius to graph?

It depends on what you are graphing and the domain. If you are tracking daily temperature in your town, for example, the only difference will be in the y-intercept: that is how high or low your graph is. If you must show the origin on the chart, though, the vertical scale will be much greater. If graphing some aspect of thermodynamics, the Kelvin graph should be simpler because it is likely to go through the origin.


What does the term intersecting mean in math?

If it is on a graph, intersecting means two or more lines go through the same point.


How do you graph g of x equals 5x?

It is a straight line through the origin with slope of 5. So start at (0,0) and go up 5 and over 1 to find the next point. Join those two points with a line and you can see the graph.


What The best-fit line must go through all data points on a graph.?

No, the best fit line need not go through any data point on a graph.


When a graph shows two variables are directly proportion the slope will be?

If the two variables are directly proportional, then the slope can be any number,but the y-intercept has to be zero ... the line must go through the origin.


What is y equals x?

y = x describes an increasing linear that passes through the origin (0, 0). It is essentially a diagonal line that appears to go from the bottom left to the top right of a graph.
