The two requirements for a graph to be proportional are that:

It must be a straight diagonal line

It must start at the origin (0,0)

Aaron thinks that this graph is proportional because it starts at the origin. Do you agree with Aaron? Why or why not? 

No, the line must be a straight diagonal line.

James says that this table is proportional because you can add six. Do you agree with him?

No, you can not add with proportional relationships. You can only multiply or divide.
