A proportional relationship is represented by a straight line that passes through the origin (0,0) and has a constant ratio between the variables.

Among the options described, the graph that features a downward sloping line with arrows on both ends that passes through the origin would represent a proportional relationship.

Thus, the correct response is:

A downward sloping line with arrows on both ends passes from the second quadrant through the origin and into the fourth quadrant.
