The paired values in a proportional relationship.

Answer 1

The paired points are not in a proportional relationship

Explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
`k=(y)/(x)` or
`y=kx`

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

we have the ordered pairs

(1,0),(2,1),(3,2),(5,4),(6,5)

Plot the points and connect them

see the attached figure

This line not passes through the origin

therefore

The paired points are not in a proportional relationship
