During a snowstorm, Gabriella tracked the amount of snow on the ground. When the storm began, there were 5 inches of snow on the ground. For the first 2 hours of the
storm, snow fell at a constant rate of 2 inches per hour. The storm then stopped for 5
hours and then started again at a constant rate of 1 inch per hour for the next 3 hours.
Make a graph showing the inches of snow on the ground over time using the data that
Gabriella collected.
need it now :)

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
