The tables show the relationships between x and y for two data sets.

Which statement describe the relationships between x and y in Data Set I and Data Set II?

• Both data sets show additive relationships. In Data Set I, y is 5.5 more than x, and Data Set II, y is 5 more than x.

• Data Set I shows a multiplicative relationship in which y is 5.5 times x. Data Set II shows an additive relationship in which y is 20 more than x.

• Both data sets show multiplicative relationships. In Data Set I, y is 5.5 times x, and in Data Set II, y is 5 times x.

• Data Set I shows an additive relationship in which y is 4.5 more than x. Data Set II shows a multiplicative relationship in which y is 5 times x.
