it is just that- a linear function that goes through ther origin. ======================================================= Any equation y = ax, where a is a constant, will do so.
No.
i think its called a break. :]
No. The rectangular hyperbola does not pass through the origin but it represents inverse proportionality.
A straight line that goes through the origin.

No, they don't.

Not always
the line that crosses through the 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.
You then have a linear relationship, or a direct variation. A straight line through the origin.
The line doesn't go through the origin
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.
