In this table, we can see that as x increases, y also increases. Moreover, for each increase in the value of x, the value of y is 9 times that of x. This means that y is always 9 times the value of x.
A proportional relationship means that the ratio between two quantities remains constant. In this case, the ratio of y to x is always 9. Therefore, this table represents a proportional relationship because as x increases, y increases in a consistent proportion to x.
If x is 1 and y is 9
If x is 2 and y is 18
if x is 3 and y is 27
if x is 4 and y 36
