To create a proportional relationship between x and y, we need to find pairs (x, y) that maintain the same ratio. A proportional relationship can be expressed as y = kx, where k is a constant.

Given the numbers: 9, 5, 8, 13, 6, and 15, let’s see how we can pair them.

For example, if we pick

– x = 5 and y = 15, we can calculate the ratio: y/x = 15/5 = 3.

– Now, we’ll see if any other pairs maintain this ratio.

– If we take x = 6, we need y = 6 * 3 = 18 (which is not in our list).

Another pair could be:

– x = 3 and y = 9 gives us a ratio of 3 (9/3 = 3).

Let’s summarize a valid proportional relationship:

– (5, 15) and (3, 9) satisfy a proportional relationship.

So, the pairs (5, 15) and (3, 9) demonstrate a proportional relationship.

Feel free to ask if you need help with more specific pairings or another concept!
