We have the following:

Martin's graph is good and correct, although it is not totally straight, but the relationship that it keeps is totally proportional.

On the other hand, Isabelle's graph, although it is totally straight, is wrong, because she must start from 3, which is the rental value of the shoes, and her graph starts at 0, therefore it is wrong, despite of which shows a proportional relationship.

Therefore the correct answer is Martin's graph.
