To determine the type of relationship between two variables (in this case, the amount of gasoline in gallons and its cost in dollars), we need to look for a consistent ratio between the two as one variable changes.
1. **Direct Proportional Relationship**: This means that when one variable increases, the other variable increases at a consistent ratio. For example, if you double the amount of gasoline, the cost should also double.
2. **Inverse Proportional Relationship**: This occurs when one variable increases while the other decreases. For instance, if the cost per gallon decreases and the number of gallons increases, this could give an inverse relationship.
3. **Not Directly Proportional**: This would apply if the relationship between the amount of gasoline and the cost does not follow a consistent ratio.
Without specific numbers in the table to analyze, I cannot definitively state the relationship. If you provide the data from the table (the amount of gasoline in gallons and the corresponding cost in dollars), I’d be able to assist you further in determining the relationship.
