Proportional Relationships Table, Graphs

Which statement about this graph is most true?

• It is proportional

• The cleaner uses 1 cup of vinegar to every 2 cups of cleaner

• The cleaner uses 4 cups of cleaner to 2 cups of vinegar

• All of the above

Is this a proportional equation?  Why?

• It is not proportional because it doesn't have a constant.

• It is not proportional because it doesn't have a constant rate of change.

• It is proportional because if x = 0, y = 0.

• It is proportional because it has a y intercept of 22.
