Ratios are proportional if they represent the same relationship. One way to see if two ratios are proportional is to write them as fractions and then reduce them. If the reduced fractions are the same, your ratios are proportional.
Nonproportional
A non-proportional graph is a straight line that does not go through the origin. How to tell the difference: A proportional table has a constant of proportionality in that y divided by x always equals the same value. A non-proportional table will have different values when y is divided by x.
