The hardware store sold 6 3/8 boxes of large nails and 7 2/5 boxes of small nails. In total, how many boxes of nails did the store sell?​

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:

if you are looking for the unit rate then the answer would be 9 because unit rate is distance divided by time.
