Do all direct proportional graphs need to start from the origin?

Direct proportional graphs do not need to start from the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct proportional graphs do not need to start from the origin. However, all direct proportional graphs must go through the origin.

Regardless of the value of the constant of proportionality, k, the graph of the lines all go through the point of origin, (0, 0).  

As a proof, the attached screenshot shows the graph of three equations of direct variations.  The graphed direct variation equations, y = 2x, y = -2x, and y = ¼x all go through the point of origin.

1. minimum

2. 6400

3. eight

hope this !
