The graph seems to represent a proportional relationship where Y is directly proportional to X, since as X increases, Y also increases proportionally.
One way to describe this relationship is with the equation of a line passing through the origin, which takes the form Y = MX. In this case, the slope M can be calculated by dividing the change in Y by the change in X between any two points on the line.
Using the points (1/3, 3/6) and (3/9), we can calculate the slope M as follows:
M = (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1) = (3/9 - 3/6) / (1/3 - 0)
M = (1/3) / (1/3) = 1
Therefore, the rate equation of the line representing this proportional relationship is Y = X.
Rate equation of the line Y equals MX through the origin that describes the proportional relationship shown in the graph 1/3 3/6 3/9
