The table below shows the amount paid for different numbers of items. A 2-column table has 4 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries 1, 2, 3, 5. The second column is labeled y with entries 0.50, 1.00, 1.50, 2.50.
Determine if this relationship forms a direct variation. Verify your answer.

Yes, it is a direct variation. If the ordered pairs form a direct variation, the rate of change is constant and the ratio of y over x is constant. The rate of change, or constant of variation, is 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

That's the sample, I put:

Yes, a direct variation is when the ratio of y/x is constant and the rate of change is constant. In this example, the rate of change is seen as .50.

the circle one

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

step-by-step explanation:

20 ≤ x + 15 ≤ 55

subtract 15 from all parts

20-15 ≤ x + 15-15 ≤ 55-15

5 ≤ x ≤ 40

this means how many more cookies he has to make

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies, but no more than 40 cookies; 5 ≤ x ≤ 40
