Answer:

The relationship below is proportional.

Explanation:

As we can see to get from 5 tickets to $40 you multiply by 8.

As we can see to get from 10 tickets to $80 you multiply by 8.

As we can see to get from 15 tickets to $120 you multiply by 8.

As we can see to get from 20 tickets to $160 you multiply by 8.

So to make this into an equation we get y=8x

So the relationship is proportional.

Answer: The following table is proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

If you see closely, you can calculate the slope of the graph (y=Mx+b)

for the first values, the number of tickets is 5 and the cost is $40. Effectively, one ticket cost $8 (40/5). So, cou can plug this value in to the x values and check if it matches with the y- values. For sample, 10 tickets 10x8= $80, which matches the table. All these values work.
