An illustration of a coordinate plane shows a line on the first, second, and third quadrants. Both the x- and the y-axes range from negative 8 to 8 in increments of 1. A line passes through the following points: left parenthesis negative 7 comma negative 4 right parenthesis, left parenthesis negative 2 comma negative 5 right parenthesis, left parenthesis negative 2 comma 1 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 0 comma 3 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 4 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 3 comma 6 right parenthesis.
Determine whether this linear relationship is proportional or nonproportional and give the reason.

The correct response is:
The relationship is nonproportional, because the line doesn’t pass through the origin.
In a proportional relationship, the line representing the relationship would pass through the origin (0,0). Since the line in the illustration does not pass through the origin, it indicates a nonproportional relationship.
