Answer:

It is a proportional relationship

Explanation:

To see if multiple ratios are proportional, you could write them as fractions, reduce them, and compare them. If the reduced fractions are all the same, then you have proportional ratios.The equation that represents a proportional relationship, or a line, is y=kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

Hope this helps

the constant of proportionality is 2
