To be a proportional relationship betwen x and y, there has to be only this two variables and a number multiplying one or both of them:


a\cdot y=b\cdot x

Let a and b be constants. So, from your question, there's only one that meets the requeriments:


y=(1)/(5)x

The other options have another constant (number) in addition, so the relationship is not proportional anymore.
