The points on this graph represent a relationship between x- and y-values. Which statement about the relationship is true?

Line graph. Coordinates of (0, 0) are marked on graph. Other points marked in a straight line on the graph are as follows: (1, 2.5); (3, 3.5); (5, 4.5).

It cannot be proportional because the straight line through the points does not go through the origin.

It cannot be proportional because the y-values are not whole numbers.

It must be proportional because the points lie in a straight line.

It must be proportional because each time x increases by 2, y increases by 1.

It must be proportional because each time x increases by 2, y increases by 1.

The statement that is true about the relationship is: "It must be proportional because each time x increases by 2, y increases by 1."
