Answer:
Table B shows a proportional relationship
Explanation:
In a proportional relationship two quantities vary directly with each other.
So,
y ∝ x
y = kx
Where, k is the constant of variation.
The ordered pairs of table A are (-2,2), (-1,3), (0,0) and (1,5).
From these ordered pairs we can conclude that the value of y-coordinate is not changing according to the x-coordinate because the values of x increased by 1 for each ordered pair but the value of y is not increasing in the same proportion..
The ordered pairs of table B are (-1,-3), (0,0), (1,3) and (2,6). The value of y increasing at a constant rate 3 and the value of y-coordinate is 3 times of x-coordinate.
Choose any two ordered pairs of table B. Let the two points are (0,0) and (1,3).
The proportional relationship is defined as
y = 3x
Therefore, 3 is the constant of variation and rate of change.
So, Table B shows a proportional relationship.
