The table shows how many people went on a roller coaster during 3 days. sean wants to know if the total of number of people is greater than 800. how can you answer sean's question without actually computing the total? explain. friday 158 people, saturday 292 sunday 278

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
