What is the converse of the following statement? "If Joe goes fishing, then he needs bait." If Joe goes fishing, then he does not need bait. If he does not need bait, then Joe does not go fishing. If Joe does not go fishing, then he does not need bait. If he needs bait, then Joe goes fishing.

If joe does not go fishing, then he does not need bait

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on it being the direct opposite

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
