1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to determine whether the given table of xx and yy values represents a proportional relationship. The table contains the following pairs: (3, 1), (6, 2), and (9, 3).

2. Solution Steps

A relationship is proportional if the ratio of yy to xx is constant for all pairs of values. In other words, yx=k\frac{y}{x} = k for some constant kk. We can check if the given table represents a proportional relationship by calculating the ratio yx\frac{y}{x} for each pair of values.
For the first pair (3, 1), the ratio is 13\frac{1}{3}.
For the second pair (6, 2), the ratio is 26=13\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}.
For the third pair (9, 3), the ratio is 39=13\frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3}.
Since the ratio yx\frac{y}{x} is 13\frac{1}{3} for all pairs, the relationship is proportional.

3. Final Answer

Proportional
