A supermarket has found that the relationship between a day's high temperature and the amount of money taken in on that day from frozen yogurt sales can be modeled by the equation y = 4x + 164, where x is the high temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and y is the amount taken in from frozen yogurt sales in dollars. Which of these statements is true according to the model?

On a day when the high temperature is 79° F, the supermarket can expect to take in $380 in frozen yogurt sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

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
