Answer:
The table A represent a proportional relationship
The table B not represent a proportional relationship
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form [tex]k=\frac{y}{x}[/tex] or [tex]y=kx[/tex]
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin
Verify each table
Table A
Find the value of k
For x=1,y=2 ------> [tex]k=\frac{2}{1}=2[/tex]
For x=3,y=6 ------> [tex]k=\frac{6}{3}=2[/tex]
For x=4,y=8 ------> [tex]k=\frac{8}{4}=2[/tex]
For x=5,y=10 ------> [tex]k=\frac{10}{5}=2[/tex]
All the values of k are the same
so
The table A represent a proportional relationship
The equation of the proportional relationship is equal to
[tex]y=2x[/tex]
Table B
Find the value of k
For x=1,y=3 ------> [tex]k=\frac{3}{1}=3[/tex]
For x=2,y=4 ------> [tex]k=\frac{4}{2}=2[/tex]
The values of k are different
so
The table B not represent a proportional relationship
