    progressive.

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question

    Family earns = $20,000

    Income tax paid = $1,500

    In the other case,

    Family earns = $40,000

    Income tax paid = $3,200

    The tax rate in the first case is

    = Income tax paid : family earning

    = $1,500 : $20,000

    = 7.5%

    The tax rate in the second case is

    = Income tax paid : family earning

    = $3,200 : $40,000

    = 8%

    As we can see that with the increase in income the income tax rate is also increases that reflect the progressive taxation
