Summer is coming to a close in Alaska, and the temperatures are falling. The temperature in Fairbanks is -2 times the temperature in Barrow. The temperature in Barrow is 6 degrees more than -2 times the temperature in Fairbanks. What are the temperatures in Fairbanks and Barrow?​

ok this question is like asking: what come first, a chicken or the egg? Confusing. But i'll try my best! 4 degrees in barrow, 8 in fairbanks? Good luck with my dum.bness lol

Step-by-step explanation:

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
