Graphing Proportional Relationships

Question 13 • AL-Mathematics 7 A

Which statement about proportional relationships is false?

Answer
A
A proportional relationship must graph as a straight line.
B
A graph of a proportional relationship must pass through (0, 0).
C
Each point (or pair) in a proportional relationship must share the same ratio.
D
Each point (or pair) in a proportional relationship must share the same difference.

Explanation

In a proportional relationship, one quantity is a constant multiple of the other, so the ratio between them stays the same. Its graph is a straight line through (0, 0). The difference between the quantities does not have to stay the same, so “Each point (or pair) must share the same difference” is false.
