Find the slope of each side of the triangle.

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a given segment is the ratio rise/run. The "rise" is the number of vertical divisions between the points. The "run" is the number of horizontal divisions between the points. The "run" is positive left-to-right. The corresponding "rise" is positive up.

Here are the segment slopes (rise/run).

  AB = -3/1 = -3

  BC = 2/3

  AC = -1/4

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
