Explanation:
The points in the first picture are [tex]\left( {0,0} \right), \left( {2,1} \right),\left( {4,2} \right)[/tex] and [tex]\left( {6,3} \right).[/tex]
The slopes between the points can be obtained as follows,
[tex]\begin{aligned}m &\frac{{1 - 0}}{{2 - 0}}\\&= \frac{1}{2}\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{aligned}m&= \frac{{2 - 1}}{{4 - 2}}\\&=\frac{1}{2}\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{aligned}m&= \frac{{3 - 2}}{{6 - 4}}\\&= \frac{1}{2}\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
The slopes between the points are equal. Therefore, in the first picture x and y are in a proportional relationship.
The points in the second picture are [tex]\left( {0,2} \right), \left( {1,3} \right),\left( {2,4} \right)[/tex] and [tex]\left( {3,5} \right).[/tex]
The slopes between the points can be obtained as follows,
[tex]\begin{aligned}m&= \frac{{3 - 2}}{{1 - 0}}\\&= 1\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{aligned}m&=\frac{{4 - 3}}{{2 - 1}}\\&= 1\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{aligned}m&=\frac{{5 - 4}}{{3 - 2}}\\&= 1\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
The slopes between the points are equal. Therefore, in the second picture x and y are in a proportional relationship.
The points in the third picture are [tex]\left( {0,4} \right), \left( {1,3} \right),\left( {2,2} \right)[/tex] and [tex]\left( {3,1} \right).[/tex]
The slopes between the points can be obtained as follows,
[tex]\begin{aligned}m&= \frac{{3 - 4}}{{1 - 0}}\\&= - 1\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
The slope is negative. Therefore, in the third picture x and y are not in a proportional relationship.
The points in the fourth picture are [tex]\left( {2,0} \right), \left( {3,1} \right),\left( {4,2} \right)[/tex] and [tex]\left( {5,3} \right).[/tex]
The slopes between the points can be obtained as follows,
[tex]\begin{aligned}m&= \frac{{1 - 0}}{{3 - 2}}\\&= 1\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{aligned}m&= \frac{{2 - 1}}{{4 - 3}}\\&= 1\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{aligned}m&= \frac{{3 - 2}}{{5 - 4}}\\&= 1\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
The slopes between the points are equal. Therefore, in the fourth picture x and y are in a proportional relationship.
The first picture, second picture,fourth picture represents proportional relationship.
