HELP!!!!!!

Determine if the table shows a proportional relationship.


x 36.5 23.2 63.3
y 18.25 11.6 21.1
Group of answer choices

a. Yes, it is proportional because the ratios for y over x are all equivalent to one-half.

b. Yes, it is proportional because the ratios for y over x are all equivalent to one-third.

c. No, it is not proportional because 18.25 over 36.5 is not equal to 23.2 over 11.6.

d. No, it is not proportional because 18.25 over 36.5 is not equal to 21.1 over 63.3

Answer 1

Because 18.25/36.5 and 21.1/63.3, the numbers in the table do not represent a proportionate connection. First set of data: y/x = 18.25/36.5 = 0.5

Values for the second pair are: y/x = 11.6/23.2 = 0.5

Values for the third pair are: y/x = 21.1/63.3 = 0.3

Because the value of y/x varies among the table's values, the table does not depict a proportionate connection. A value table must have an identical ratio of y/x between each pair of values for a proportional relationship to be seen. K, or the proportionality constant, is the constant.

Because 18.25 over 36.5 is not equivalent to 21.1 over 63.3, we may conclude that: D. No, does not demonstrate a proportionate connection.
