Answer:

The answer is that the table is not a proportional relationship.

Explanation:

It's not a proportional relationship because the number was not a constant variable.In order for the table to have a proportional relationship the number has to be the same for all of the ratios.

Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent. Another way to think about them is that, in a proportional relationship, one variable is always a constant value times the other. That constant is know as the "constant of proportionality".

Hope this helps!!
