Answer:

x and y are proportional

Explanation:

You want to know the relationship between x and y if their ratio is the same for all related pairs.

Proportional relation

When x and y are proportional, the equation that relates them is ...

y = kx

The ratio of y to x is then ...

y/x = k . . . . . . the constant of proportionality

When the ratio is constant, the relationship is a proportional one.
