I'm doing sine, cosine, and tangent and I don't know what an opposite is in the triangle so if anyone can explain it in the most simple terms possible, that'd be great

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so basically when you have a triangle, the side that is directly across from the angle you are looking for is the "opposite". here is an attachment.

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:
