To determine whether the two tables show the same proportional relationship between \( x \) and \( y \), we need to calculate the ratio \( \frac{y}{x} \) for each pair in both tables and see if they remain constant.

### For the first table:
| \( x \) | \( y \) |
|---------|---------|
| 50 | 1250 |
| 75 | 1875 |
| 100 | 2500 |

Calculating the ratios:
1. For the first pair:
\[
\frac{y}{x} = \frac{1250}{50} = 25
\]
2. For the second pair:
\[
\frac{y}{x} = \frac{1875}{75} = 25
\]
3. For the third pair:
\[
\frac{y}{x} = \frac{2500}{100} = 25
\]

Each ratio \( \frac{y}{x} \) is equivalent to 25 in the first table.

### For the second table:
| \( x \) | \( y \) |
|---------|---------|
| 3 | 4.2 |
| 4 | 5.6 |
| 5 | 7 |

Calculating the ratios:
1. For the first pair:
\[
\frac{y}{x} = \frac{4.2}{3} \approx 1.4
\]
2. For the second pair:
\[
\frac{y}{x} = \frac{5.6}{4} = 1.4
\]
3. For the third pair:
\[
\frac{y}{x} = \frac{7}{5} = 1.4
\]

Each ratio \( \frac{y}{x} \) is equivalent to 1.4 in the second table.

### Conclusion:
The two tables do not show the same proportional relationship. In the first table, every ratio \( \frac{y}{x} \) is equivalent to **25**. In the second table, every ratio \( \frac{y}{x} \) is equivalent to **1.4**.

### Final answer:
No, each table shows a different proportional relationship. In the first table, every ratio \( \frac{y}{x} \) is equivalent to **25**. In the second table, every ratio \( \frac{y}{x} \) is equivalent to **1.4**.
