Amarketing company is hiring two college students to hand out brochures near an event. marshall hands out 300 brochures in 2 hours. silas hands out 240 brochures in 90 minutes. who handed out more brochures per minute? a. marshall b. silas c. neither. they handed out brochures at the same rate.

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:
