Using the data shown on the graph, which statements are correct?
A The ratio of x y is 6 5.
B The ratio of y x is consistent.
C The graph represents a proportional relationship.
D The graph does not represent a proportional relationship.
E The graph of a proportional relationship must pass through (0, 0).
To determine which statements are correct, let’s analyze the options considering typical characteristics of ratios and proportional relationships:
A. The ratio of x to y is 6 to 5. – This would depend on specific values on the graph but cannot be confirmed without visual reference.
B. The ratio of y to x is consistent. – If this is a proportional relationship, the ratio should remain constant; needs graph verification.
C. The graph represents a proportional relationship. – A proportional relationship is linear and passes through (0, 0), meaning if the graph does not do this, then this statement is incorrect.
D. The graph does not represent a proportional relationship. – This is true if the graph does not pass through (0, 0) or the ratio is not constant.
E. The graph of a proportional relationship must pass through (0, 0). – This is correct because proportional relationships start from the origin.
So, the most reasonable answers based on general knowledge are E, and possibly D, depending on the specifics of the graph. For exact confirmation, please refer to the data on your graph. If you have any more questions or need further details, feel free to ask!
