It will climb rapidly, indicating a steep slope.
If a graph is proportional, the characteristic it displays is:
It will pass through the point (0, 0).
This indicates that as \( x \) increases, \( y \) increases proportionately, and when \( x = 0 \), \( y \) is also \( 0 \).

To determine which table demonstrates a proportional relationship, we need to check if the ratio \( \frac{y}{x} \) is constant for each \( x, y \) pair within the tables.
-
Table 1:
- \( \frac{2}{4} = 0.5 \)
- \( \frac{3}{9} \approx 0.33 \)
- \( \frac{4}{16} = 0.25 \)
- Not proportional.
-
Table 2:
- \( \frac{2}{10} = 0.2 \)
- \( \frac{3}{15} = 0.2 \)
- \( \frac{8}{40} = 0.2 \)
- Constant ratio of 0.2. Proportional.
-
Table 3:
- \( \frac{10}{2} = 5 \)
- \( \frac{20}{5} = 4 \)
- \( \frac{30}{6} = 5 \)
- Not proportional.
-
Table 4:
- \( \frac{2}{8} = 0.25 \)
- \( \frac{3}{12} = 0.25 \)
- \( \frac{4}{40} = 0.1 \)
- Not proportional.
From this analysis, the table that demonstrates a proportional relationship is:
Table 2.

To determine if the quantities in the data table are in a proportional relationship, we need to assess if the ratio \( \frac{\text{# of Apples}}{\text{# of Trees}} \) remains constant across all entries.
Let's calculate the ratios for the data provided:
-
For 2 trees and 26 apples:
\( \frac{26}{2} = 13 \) -
For 3 trees and 39 apples:
\( \frac{39}{3} = 13 \) -
For 6 trees and 78 apples:
\( \frac{78}{6} = 13 \) -
For 10 trees and 130 apples:
\( \frac{130}{10} = 13 \) -
For 12 trees and 156 apples:
\( \frac{156}{12} = 13 \)
Since all the calculated ratios are equal to 13, the quantities in the data table are in a proportional relationship.
Thus, the correct response is:
Yes, the data table has a proportional relationship.
