Direct proportions may be represented by a straight line through the origin, with the equation y = kx. The gradient of the line is the constant of proportionality and is a measure of the change in the "dependent" variable for a unit change in the "independent" variable. In the case of an inverse proportionality, the graph is a hyperbola with the equation y = k/x. The constant of proportionality, k, is a measure of the change in the reciprocal of the "dependent" variable for a unit change in the "independent" variable.
A straight line through the origin, and with a positive gradient (sloping from bottom left to top right).
A straight line with a positive slope, passing through the origin.
If the points lie on a straight line through the origin, the two variables are in direct proportion.
Directly proportional. Greater speed - greater distance.
The answer is proportional.
For proportional relationships the ratio is a constant.
Proportional and non-proportional relationships both describe how two variables interact and change in relation to one another. In both types of relationships, changes in one variable can affect the other, and they can be represented graphically, typically with a line. However, while proportional relationships maintain a constant ratio between the variables, non-proportional relationships do not, leading to different patterns in their graphs. Both are essential for understanding mathematical concepts and real-world applications.

Proportional linear relationships have a constant ratio between the two variables and pass through the origin (0,0), meaning that if one variable is zero, the other is also zero. In contrast, non-proportional linear relationships do not have a constant ratio and do not necessarily pass through the origin; they include a y-intercept that is not zero, indicating a fixed value when the independent variable is zero. This results in different graphs, with proportional relationships forming straight lines through the origin and non-proportional relationships forming straight lines that intersect the y-axis at a point other than the origin.

Proportional relationships in graphs are represented by straight lines that pass through the origin (0,0). In these relationships, the ratio of the two quantities remains constant, meaning that as one quantity increases or decreases, the other does so in a consistent manner. This can be visually identified by the slope of the line, which represents the constant ratio. Overall, proportional relationships illustrate a direct correlation between two variables.
