Please explain!!!!!!!! Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Do you notice what happens to the y values as you change the x values?
As x doubles from one to two, y goes up by a factor of four.
As x goes from one to three, y goes up by a factor of nine...and so on...
Thus y is proportional to x^2.
Choice c.
