#Redirect [[Directly Proportional]]
===Meaning===
 
When two [[variable]]s are [[proportional]] their values have a constant [[ratio]].
 
 
 
===About Proportional Graphs===
 
: A [[Scatter Graph|scatter graph]] showing a [[proportional]] relationship has a [[linear]] [[gradient]].
 
: On a [[proportional]] [[Scatter Graph|scatter graph]] when one [[variable]] increases, the other increase or when one increases the other decreases.
 
: A [[proportional]] graph may have a non-zero [[y-intercept]].
 
: If the [[Line of Best Fit|line of best fit]] has a [[y-intercept]] of zero then it is called '[[Directly Proportional|directly '''proportional''']]'.
