Find the equation of the line shown below
Y=mx+c

y = -1/4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First you find m. Because the line is slanting downwards, you know it is negative. Then you can find the number by looking at the rise over run (rise/run). We can go up 1 (rise) and then to the side 4 (run). We go to the right side 4 because that is where the line intersects with up 1. So because the rise goes over the run, the number would be 1/4. But remember that it is negative so m = -1/4

2. Now we have to find c. For this you just have to go up or down the y-axis until you find the point where it intersects with the line. On this graph it intersects on positive 2. So c = + 2

so what is the question

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
