The graph of a proportional relationship will always be a straight line that passes through the origin. Why?

Being proportional between two entities, refers to the 'Constant of Proportionality' that would be fixed between them which establishes a relationship between them when multiplied or divided.

If we considered it on a graph, the 'Constant Of Proportionality' may take any real values between the coordinate pairs x and y [x,y]. As even 0 is a real number, it will surely be a constant of proportionality when multiplied since its product would result in itself (0). Hence, both x and y turns 0.

As the coordinates of the origin are always (0,0), the graph  (Or the slope) would surely pass through the origin.

Example :

If we consider a graph such that x=y.

And if we multiply or divide any real number (a) between them.

ax=ay

As a is a variable, and can take the value of 0, the graph can pass through the origin as x and y nullify becoming the coordinates of the origin.

the answer is (-8,-5)

step-by-step explanation:

the endpoint to midpoint is half the length. the length is (-2,-1) so when you are at the midpoint just add it to it to find your answer -6+(-2)= -8 and -4+(-1)=-5 so (-8,-5)
