Evaluate: -X - y when x = -12 and y = 2 A. 16 B. -10 C. -14 D. 10 O E. 14 please help

- x - y

-(-12) -(2)

12-2

10 the answer is D

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
