Answer:

No, because the graph of the line connecting the ordered pairs does not pass through the origin.

Explanation:

When two linear variables are directly proportional, the realtion has the form


y=mx

Where
m is the contant ratio of change between variables.

One important characteristic of the direct proportion is that its graph is a straight line which passes through the origin.

However, you can notice in the given image that the line formed by those points won't intercept the origin of the coordinate system.

Therefore, the right answer is the second choice.
