Determine if the quantity in the data table in a proportional relationship, if they are not in a proportional relationship, indicate why

1-9 2-18 3-27 4-36

The quantities in the data table are in a proportional relationship. This can be determined by observing that for every increase in 1 in the first column, there is an increase of 9 in the second column. In other words, the ratio between the two quantities remains constant (9:1) throughout the table.
