B i worked out all of them and only b can fit

The line intersects the​ y-axis of the graph at the origin. The correct option is B.

What is a Proportional Relationship?

A proportional Relationship is when a variable is in direct variation to another variable such that on increasing one the other proportionally increases.

The equation for a proportional relationship is

y ∝  x

y =kx

where k is the proportionality constant

The equation of a straight line is y = mx +c

here c is the intercept on the y-axis

Comparing the two equations, this can be confirmed that

c = 0

Therefore, the line intersects the​ y-axis of the graph at the origin.

The correct option is B.
