determine whether the table represents a proportional relationship. if a proportional relationship exists, what is the constant ratio of
y
x
?
a) yes;
5
3
b) yes;
3
5
c) yes;
1
3
d) the table does not represent a proportional relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, they have a proportional relationship.

The table shows sequences, where x-values increase +3, and y-values increase +5, that is, while x increases 3 unites, y increases 5 units, this ratio between variables can be described as the slope:

This fraction or ratio is referring to what we said in words, while y increases 5 units, x increases 3 units. We observe that is a positive ration, this means that magnitudes are both increasing.

Therefore, the right answer is the first one A.

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
