Answer:

Purple line: 4

Red dashed line: 2

Blue line: 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The purple line is the steepest line, therefore it has the biggest constant of proportionality or slope. Since 4 is the biggest number among the others, we attribute it to the purple line (the one with the point C on it).

Think of it this way:

[tex]y = ax+b \\[/tex]

here [tex]b = 0[/tex] so [tex]y = ax[/tex]

The greater a is, the greater y is. So for any value of x, y will be become bigger and bigger if we increase the value of a.

Take for example this one:

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

Take [tex]x=2\\[/tex] therefore [tex]y =4[/tex]

Now take [tex]y = 4x[/tex] and take [tex]x =2[/tex] therefore [tex]y = 8[/tex]

When we increased this constant of proportionality, as you can see from 2 to 4, the value of y increase from 4 to 8.

Hope this is helpful. Think of it really carefully, and I'm sure you'll grasp the concept.
