Which table shows a proportional relationship between x and y? x 2 3 5 6 y 3 4 7 9 x 4 6 8 10 y 6 8 10 12 x 1 5 8 10 y 15 75 120 150 x 3 9 10 15 y 1 3 4 5
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:Only the 3rd table shows a proportional relation between x and y.Step-by-step explanation:The first table is x 2 3 5 6 y 3 4 7 9
Here y is not increasing in uniform rate with x. So, the relation is not proportional.
The second table is x 4 6 8 10 y 6 8 10 12
Here y is increasing in uniform rate with x, but at x = 0, y ≠ 0, Hence, the relationship is not proportional.
The third table is x 1 5 8 10 y 15 75 120 150
Here, y is increasing in uniform rate with x, and at x = 0, y = 0, Hence, the relationship is proportional.
The fourth table shows
x 3 9 10 15 y 1 3 4 5
Here also y is not increasing in uniform rate with x. So, the relation is not proportional.
Therefore, only the 3rd table shows a proportional relation between x and y. (Answer)
