Answer 1

It is a proportional relation.

Explanation:

We have given that at Time (hours) = 2, Distance (miles) = 90 and at Time (hours) = 3, Distance (miles) = 135

Therefore, the speed we get from the first two row data =
`(135 - 90)/(3 - 2) = 45` miles/hr.

So, the speed is maintained through out the journey as

At t = 0, Distance = 0

At t = 2 hours, Distance = 2 × 45 = 90 miles

At t = 3 hours, Distance = 3 × 45 = 135 miles

At t = 5 hours, Distance = 5 × 45 = 225 miles

At t = 6 hours, Distance = 6 × 45 = 270 miles

Therefore, the values matches with the table.

Hence, it is a proportional relation. (Answer)
