Answer :

The table that represents a proportional relation is the second table, it represents a proportional relationship with a constant k = -1

Which table represents a proportional relationship?

Notice that a proportional relationship is of the form:

y = k*x

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

Notice that if we increase the value of x by 1, then we get:

y = k*(x + 1) = k*x + k

Also, notice:

y/x = k

Each column has 3 pairs of values x-y, just take the quotient between each pair and check if you get the same value of k for the 3 pairs.

With that in mind, we conclude that the second table:

  • x: -1, -3, -5
  • y: 1, 3, 5

This is a proportional relationship with a constant k = -1

So this is the correct option.
