To determine which set of ordered pairs shows a proportional relationship, we need to check if the ratio of \(y\) to \(x\) is constant for all points in each graph.
1. **Points (−1, 2) and (2, −1)**:
- For point (−1, 2): \( \frac{y}{x} = \frac{2}{-1} = -2 \)
- For point (2, −1): \( \frac{y}{x} = \frac{-1}{2} = -0.5 \)
- The ratios are not constant. **Not proportional.**
2. **Points (−2, −3) and (2, 3)**:
- For point (−2, −3): \( \frac{y}{x} = \frac{-3}{-2} = \frac{3}{2} \)
- For point (2, 3): \( \frac{y}{x} = \frac{3}{2} \)
- The ratios are constant. **Proportional relationship.**
3. **Points (−2, −1) and (2, 3)**:
- For point (−2, −1): \( \frac{y}{x} = \frac{-1}{-2} = \frac{1}{2} \)
- For point (2, 3): \( \frac{y}{x} = \frac{3}{2} \)
- The ratios are not constant. **Not proportional.**
4. **Points (−1, 3) and (1, 1)**:
- For point (−1, 3): \( \frac{y}{x} = \frac{3}{-1} = -3 \)
- For point (1, 1): \( \frac{y}{x} = \frac{1}{1} = 1 \)
- The ratios are not constant. **Not proportional.**
Based on the analysis, the **second set of points (−2, −3) and (2, 3)** shows a proportional relationship.
