In order for brady to earn a b in his biology course, his test scores must average at least 80%. on the first 5 tests, he has an average of 77%. there is one test remaining in the course. what is the minimum score brady needs to earn on the last test to receive a b in the class?

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
