Before radar and sonar, sailors would climb to the top of their ships to watch for land or changes in weather. If the lookout at the top of the mast can see an island five miles away, about how tall is the mast? Round your answer to the nearest whol number if necessary. Use the formula for the relationship between height (h) and visibility, how far you can see, (d): d = 5/6 h

friend me for the answer

step-by-step explanation:

i dont get

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:
