Question 1159820: The graph of the line that represents a proportional relationship between y and x has a unit rate of 0.4; that is, a change in 1 unit in x corresponds to a change of 0.4 units in y. The equation of this relationship can be written as:
y = 0.4x
y = 4x
y = 1/4x
y = x

The graph of the line that represents a proportional relationship between y and x has a unit rate of 0.4;

The graph of the line with the slope m and the y-intercept b, has the form
y=mx%2Bb
In our case the rate of change m is 0.4; therefore we have the equation
y+=+0.4x
so answer is: y+=+0.4x
