Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:It is a proportional relation.Step-by-step explanation:We have given that at Time (hours) = 2, Distance (miles) = 90 and at Time (hours) = 3, Distance (miles) = 135 Therefore, the speed we get from the first two row data = [tex]\frac{135 - 90}{3 - 2} = 45[/tex] miles/hr. So, the speed is maintained through out the journey as At t = 0, Distance = 0 At t = 2 hours, Distance = 2 Γ— 45 = 90 miles At t = 3 hours, Distance = 3 Γ— 45 = 135 miles At t = 5 hours, Distance = 5 Γ— 45 = 225 miles At t = 6 hours, Distance = 6 Γ— 45 = 270 miles Therefore, the values matches with the table. Hence, it is a proportional relation. (Answer)
