Bernice placed 5 green paper clips, 6 blue paper clips, and 9 yellow paper clips in a container. she will reach into the container and pull out one paper clip without looking. what is the probability that the paper clip she chooses will be green?

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation

graph of this function as shown below:

w'x is 0.

hope it
