Respuesta :

Answer:

Not proportional.

I looked at the following ordered pairs:

(-2,-27)

(1,12)

(4,57)

(10,147)

Please see I have the points correct.

Thank you kindly.

Step-by-step explanation:

To see if it is proportional, we just need to see if the following equality holds:

[tex]\frac{-27}{-2}=\frac{12}{1}=\frac{57}{4}=\frac{147}{10}[/tex]?

I'm going to put each fraction into my calculator.

[tex]13.5=12=14.25=14.7[/tex] which is totally not true so this relationship is not proportional.

Not proportional there is no pattern and one of the point is negative and the rest is positive so it makes no sense
