How many boards, each 2 ft and 8 inches long, can be cut from a board 16 inches long?

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

graph of this function as shown below:

1/800 is the right answer

y/x of point b= y/x of point a

step-by-step explanation:

(i got the same question, this was the correct answer.)

after going and makeing graphs i would go with a,

there is nothing that is matches the graph. if there was i would show you. but therefore my answer is a.

hope i
