Answer:

Since the value of y is always the double of x, the relationship (0,0) (2,4) (4,8) (6,12) can be considered proportional.

Since the division of y by x gives different values, the relationship (0,1) (2,5) (3,9) (4,10) is not proportional.

Explanation:

A relationship (x,y) can be considered proportional if the division of x by y is always the same.

Is this relationship proportional? (0,0) (2,4) (4,8) (6,12)

Why?

The double of 0 is 0

The double of 2 is 4.

The double of 4 is 8

The double of 6 is 12.

Since the value of y is always the double of x, the relationship (0,0) (2,4) (4,8) (6,12) can be considered proportional.

Is this relationship proportional? (0,1) (2,5) (3,9) (4,10)

Why?​

Here, we cannot estabilish a relation, which means that they are not proportional.

Since the division of y by x gives different values, the relationship (0,1) (2,5) (3,9) (4,10) is not proportional.
