The proportional relationship between x and y will be given by option D.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a group of sequentially ordered numbers a and b expressed as a/b, where b is never equal to zero. When two objects are equal, a statement is said to be proportional.

Let's check all the options:

Option A because the line has intercept.

Option B because the line is zero.

Option C:

The slope is given as,

Slope = (16 - 8) / (4 - 2) = 4

Slope = (24 - 16) / (8 - 4) = 2

Slope = (32 - 24) / (12 - 8) = 2

Option D:

The slope is given as,

Slope = (6 - 3) / (4 - 2) = 3/2

Slope = (12 - 6) / (8 - 4) = 3/2

Slope = (18 - 12) / (12 - 8) = 3/2

The proportional relationship between x and y will be given by option D.
