Does the table provided show a direct proportional relationship? If so, then identify the proportion.
Does the table provided show a direct proportional relationship? If so, then identify the proportion.
In order to determine whether or not the table shows a direct proportion, we will divide the quantities in the 
coordinate column by the quantities in the 
coordinate column. In order for the table to show direct proportion, each quotient should be the same value.
In this example, each quotient is the same value; therefore, this table does show direct proportion.
