To identify a table that demonstrates a proportional relationship, we need to check if the ratio (y/x) remains constant for all pairs of x and y values in the table.

Let’s analyze each table:

  1. Table 1:

    • (2, 10) → 10/2 = 5
    • (5, 20) → 20/5 = 4
    • (6, 30) → 30/6 = 5
    • Ratios are not constant → Not proportional.
  2. Table 2:

    • (10, 2) → 2/10 = 0.2
    • (15, 3) → 3/15 = 0.2
    • (40, 8) → 8/40 = 0.2
    • Ratios are constant (0.2) → Proportional.
  3. Table 3:

    • (8, 2) → 2/8 = 0.25
    • (12, 3) → 3/12 = 0.25
    • (40, 4) → 4/40 = 0.1
    • Ratios are not constant → Not proportional.
  4. Table 4:

    • (4, 2) → 2/4 = 0.5
    • (9, 3) → 3/9 = 0.333
    • (16, 4) → 4/16 = 0.25
    • Ratios are not constant → Not proportional.

The only table that shows a proportional relationship is Table 2:

  • x: 10, 15, 40; y: 2, 3, 8 where the ratio y/x = 0.2 for all pairs.
