When a linear equation does not pass through the origin, it is referred to as a "non-homogeneous" linear equation. In this case, the equation typically takes the form (y = mx + b), where (b) is the y-intercept. The presence of the y-intercept indicates that the line is shifted vertically away from the origin. If (b) is not zero, the line will not intersect the origin (0,0).
What else can I help you with?
What is a linear function that goes through the origin?
it is just that- a linear function that goes through ther origin. ======================================================= Any equation y = ax, where a is a constant, will do so.
Does simple linear regression always go through the origin?
No.
What is the squiggly line from the origin of a linear graph called?
i think its called a break. :]
Is the line automatically nonproportional if it doesnt pass through the origin'?
No. The rectangular hyperbola does not pass through the origin but it represents inverse proportionality.
What shape does the grapg of a linear relationship take?
A straight line that goes through the origin.

Do linear graphs always pass through origin?
No, they don't.

No.

The graph of a linear relationship will always pass through the origin?
Not always
What is an example of an linear parent function?
the line that crosses through the origin

No. The rectangular hyperbola does not pass through the origin but it represents inverse proportionality.
What shape does the grapg of a linear relationship take?
A straight line that goes through the origin.
Does a particle moving along a line that passes through the origin has zero angular momentum about that origin?
No, the particle's angular momentum depends on both its linear momentum and its distance from the origin. If the particle is moving along a line passing through the origin, its angular momentum will not necessarily be zero unless its linear momentum is also zero.
What if y equals kx?
You then have a linear relationship, or a direct variation. A straight line through the origin.
Why isn't every linear relationship a direct variation?
The line doesn't go through the origin
How does the constant of variation affects the appearance of the graph of a direct variation function?
The formula direct variation is xk=y, where k is the constant of variation.Direct variation functions always pass through the origin. Direct variation functions are linear functions (goes in a straight line), except that they pass through the origin. Regular linear functions don't pass through the origin. That is the only difference.
