Q:

Ming wrote the table of points below. x y 5 10 10 20 15 30 Which explains whether or not Ming has described a proportional relationship, and why? Ming has described a proportional relationship because the ordered pairs are linear and the line passes through the origin. Ming has not described a proportional relationship. Although it is a linear relationship, it does not pass through the origin. Ming has not described a proportional relationship. Although it passes through the origin, it is not a linear relationship. Ming has described a proportional relationship because the line does not pass through the origin.

Accepted Solution

A:
This is a proportional relationship.

If you drew the points and made a line, it would pass through the origin. Also, all you need to do is multiply the x value by 2 and you have the y-value.
