Table The difference in the values of the "dependent" variable is a fixed multiple of the difference between the corresponding values of the independent variable. And the value of the dependent variable is non-zero when the independent is zero.Graph A non-vertical straight line which does not pass through the origin.Equation y = mx + c (or equivalent) where m is some real number and c is non-zero.
A proportional relationship is of the form y = kx where k is a constant. This can be rearranged to give: y = kx → k = y/x If the relationship in a table between to variables is a proportional one, then divide the elements of one column by the corresponding elements of the other column; if the result of each division is the same value, then the data is in a proportional relationship. If the data in the table is measured data, then the data is likely to be rounded, so the divisions also need to be rounded (to the appropriate degree).

Indeterminate. Since we are not given the area of the table, there is no way to determine how many tables fit inside that room.
The advantage is being given a straight answer, but in a graph it doesn't give you a straight answer, because there is a possibility of data being in between the plotted points.
