Kimtoya travels from New York to Florida by airplane. She pays a total of $402 for her flight. This includes a base price of $285 for the ticket plus a fee for each of her 3 pieces of checked baggage. To figure out how much the fee per bag is, she adds $402 to $285 and then divides this total by 3 to get $173. Is Kimtoya correct?

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
