1. You buy rice at $0.71 a pound. One batch of fried rice requires 6.5 pounds of rice. How much does the rice for one batch cost? Round to the nearest cent. Select one:

a. $4.60

b. $4.65

c. $4.61

d. $4.62

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:
