Choose the story that best fits the equation x 18 = a.
A) Eighteen students are on the debate team; of the team received awar
the competition. How many students received the awards?
B) There were 18 pies and 3 teams divided them evenly. Each team sold 2
How many pies were sold?

The answer is B I just took a test on It

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:
