In the equation \( y = 32x \), the constant of proportionality is the coefficient of \( x \). In this case, it is 32. Thus, the constant of proportionality is \( 32 \).

It will have y -values larger than their corresponding x -values.

It will pass through the point (0, 0)

It will pass through the point Left Parenthesis 0 comma 0 Right Parenthesis .

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.

  1. Table 1:

    • \( \frac{2}{4} = 0.5 \)
    • \( \frac{3}{9} \approx 0.33 \)
    • \( \frac{4}{16} = 0.25 \)
    • Not proportional.
  2. Table 2:

    • \( \frac{2}{10} = 0.2 \)
    • \( \frac{3}{15} = 0.2 \)
    • \( \frac{8}{40} = 0.2 \)
    • Constant ratio of 0.2. Proportional.
  3. Table 3:

    • \( \frac{10}{2} = 5 \)
    • \( \frac{20}{5} = 4 \)
    • \( \frac{30}{6} = 5 \)
    • Not proportional.
  4. 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:

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:

  1. For 2 trees and 26 apples:
    \( \frac{26}{2} = 13 \)

  2. For 3 trees and 39 apples:
    \( \frac{39}{3} = 13 \)

  3. For 6 trees and 78 apples:
    \( \frac{78}{6} = 13 \)

  4. For 10 trees and 130 apples:
    \( \frac{130}{10} = 13 \)

  5. 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.
