Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship is defined as

[tex]y\propto x[/tex]

[tex]y=kx[/tex]

where, k is the constant of proportionality.

From the given graph it is clear that there is proportional relationship with the point (-20,40).

Substitute x=-20 and y=40 in the above equation to find the value of k.

[tex]40=k(-20)[/tex]

Divide by -20.

[tex]-2=k[/tex]

The value of k is -2. So, the proportional relationship is defined as

[tex]y=-2x[/tex]

At x=-40,

[tex]y=-2(40)=-80[/tex]

It means point (-40,20) would not form a proportional relationship with the (-20,40).

Similarly,

At x=-10,

[tex]y=-2(-10)=20[/tex]

At x=15,

[tex]y=-2(15)=-30[/tex]

At x=5,

[tex]y=-2(5)=-10[/tex]

It means points (-10,-20) and (5,-15) would not form a proportional relationship with the (-20,40).

Only point (15,-30) would form a proportional relationship with the (-20,40).

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Answer:

(15, -30)

Step-by-step explanation:

because it will go through the orgin in a straight line.
