To determine which relationships are proportional, we need to see if there exists a constant ratio between the two variables involved.
1. **A: y = 13x**
- This is a proportional relationship, where for every unit increase in x, y increases by a constant multiple (13). The ratio \( \frac{y}{x} = 13 \) is constant.
2. **B: y = \frac{1}{3}x**
- This is also a proportional relationship, as for every unit increase in x, y increases by a constant multiple (\(\frac{1}{3}\)). The ratio \( \frac{y}{x} = \frac{1}{3} \) remains constant.
3. **C: y = 3x**
- This is a proportional relationship as well since y increases by a factor of 3 for every increase in x. The ratio \( \frac{y}{x} = 3 \) is constant.
4. **D: y = 1x**
- This is also a proportional relationship since it simplifies to \( y = x \). The ratio \( \frac{y}{x} = 1 \) is constant.
5. **E: 100 − 10W = M**
- This is a linear relationship, but it is not directly proportional because it includes a constant term (100). The relationship between M and W is not consistent in terms of a constant ratio; it changes as W increases.
Based on the analysis above, the proportional relationships are:
- A: \( y = 13x \)
- B: \( y = \frac{1}{3}x \)
- C: \( y = 3x \)
- D: \( y = 1x \)
Therefore, A, B, C, and D are proportional relationships. E is not proportional.
