Nora needs 5 and 1/2 cups of flour for a cookie recipe she is making for a large party. So far she has scooped 1 1/2 cups and 1 3/4 cups of flour into her bowl. How many more cups of flour does she need?

m∠vru = 80°

m∠urw = 15°

step-by-step explanation:

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
