Answer 1

To determine if a table demonstrates a proportional relationship, we need to check if the ratio of \( y \) to \( x \) is constant for all pairs of values.

1. First table:

   • \( \frac{y}{x} \):
     • \( \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4} \)
     • \( \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4} \)
     • \( \frac{4}{40} = \frac{1}{10} \) (not constant)
   • This table does not represent a proportional relationship.

2. Second table:

   • \( \frac{y}{x} \):
     • \( \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \)
     • \( \frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3} \) (not constant)
     • \( \frac{4}{16} = \frac{1}{4} \) (not constant)
   • This table does not represent a proportional relationship.

3. Third table:

   • \( \frac{y}{x} \):
     • \( \frac{10}{2} = 5 \)
     • \( \frac{20}{5} = 4 \) (not constant)
     • \( \frac{30}{6} = 5 \) (not constant)
   • This table does not represent a proportional relationship.

4. Fourth table:

   • \( \frac{y}{x} \):
     • \( \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5} \)
     • \( \frac{3}{15} = \frac{1}{5} \)
     • \( \frac{8}{40} = \frac{1}{5} \) (constant)
   • This table represents a proportional relationship.

The fourth table demonstrates a proportional relationship.
