Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze both tables to determine if the values of and are proportional, and if so, find the constant of proportionality.
Table 1
We have the following values for and :
To check if and are proportional, we need to determine if the ratios are constant.
- For and , the ratio is .
- For and , the ratio is .
- For and , the ratio is .
Since the ratios are not the same (i.e., and 7), the values of and in Table 1 are not proportional.
Table 2
We have the following values for and :
Again, we'll check if the ratios are constant.
- For and , the ratio is .
- For and , the ratio is .
- For and , the ratio is .
Since the ratios are not the same (i.e., 2, 3, and 4), the values of and in Table 2 are also not proportional.
Summary:
- Table 1: Not proportional
- Table 2: Not proportional
