Jackson wanted to drive a car that uses less gasoline, so he bought a hybrid.
This table shows the relationship between the volume of gasoline Jackson's car uses when driving on the highway (in gallons), \( x \), and the distance he drives it on the highway (in miles), \( y \).
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline\( x \) (gallons) & \( y \) (miles) \\
\hline 0.5 & 24 \\
\hline 3 & 144 \\
\hline 14.5 & 696 \\
\hline 18.5 & 888 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
According to the values in the table, do \( x \) and \( y \) have a proportional relationship?
yes
no
