Question

Whatcha table shows a proportional relationship?

p 1 3 5 7 9
q 0 2 4 6 8
—————-
b 1 4 5 7 11
c 3 12 15 21 33
——————-
r 3 6 10 12 15
s 2 4 6 8 10
——————
x 1 2 3 4 5
y 9 10 11 12 13

Answer 1

The answer is the second table (the one with B and C.)

Explanation:

You know this, because the other tables are just based on patterns and the x and y values have nothing to do with each other. However, for the second table, the b value times 3 equals the c value. This is how you know the table shows a proportional relationship, and this is key to solving this problem.

Here's an image that helps demonstrate this idea:
