At 3: 00 p. m., jamie leaves her house and drives north to the beach. she arrives at 5: 30 p. m. also leaving at 3: 00 p. m., her brother raul leaves her house and drives south to a state park. he arrives at 4: 30 p. m. the driving distance from the beach to the state park is 240 mi. jamie and raul drove at the same speed. what was their speed?

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
