Step-by-step explanation:
No, Sam is not correct. The graph of a proportional relationship has the form y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality. Sam added the constant of proportionality inst.ead of using it as the coefficient of x. The correct equation is y = 6x. Sam’s graph would be a straight line, but it would not pas s through the origin
