A. $17,878,787.88

B. $178,787.88

O

c. $178,787,878.80

O

D. $1,787,878.79

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

$1,787,878.79

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

the correct answer is 5 6 and 7
