1 answer

Let's evaluate each statement based on the given values in the table:

  • This table shows a linear relationship.
    False: This table does not show a linear relationship. The values of Y do not form a straight line when plotted against X.

  • This table shows a constant rate of change.
    False: The rate of change between Y values is not constant. For example, the change from 1 to 4 (3) is different from the change from 4 to 9 (5).

  • This table represents a function.
    True: Each X value corresponds to exactly one Y value, which meets the definition of a function.

  • This table shows a proportional relationship.
    False: A proportional relationship requires the ratio between Y and X to be constant, which is not the case here.

  • This table shows an increasing relationship.
    True: As X increases, Y also increases, indicating an increasing relationship.

So the answers are:

  1. False
  2. False
  3. True
  4. False
  5. True
