In a proportional relationship, the ratios of the x and y variables are equivalent.
To find out if this relationship is proportional, take two of the points and convert them to fractions (x over y).
(1, 5) & (3, 15) ⇒ [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] & [tex]\frac{3}{15}[/tex]
Divide the numerators and denominators by each other. If they both equal the same number, the relationship is proportional.
3 ÷ 1 = 3 ,,, 15 ÷ 5 = 3
Answer: (pt. 2)
Yes, the relationship is proportional.
