PLEASE HELP ME Determine whether the graph represents a proportional relationship. A graph is shown. The x-axis is labeled from 0 to 9. The y-axis is labeled from 0 to 17. Four points are shown on the graph on ordered pairs 0, 4 and 2, 8 and 3, 12 and 4, 16. These points are joined by a line. The label on the x-axis is Number of boats. The title on the y-axis is Number of passengers.

A:
Answer:No, the graph does not represent a proportional relationshipStep-by-step explanation:The equation that models a proportional relation is [tex]y=kx[/tex], where k is the constant of proportionality.Based on your description, we have:x y0 42 83 124 16The graph of a proportional relation will always pass through the origin i.e the initial value is always zero.The equation of this graph is not in the form y=kx.Hence, the graph does not represent a proportional relationship because there is an initial value which is not zero.
