Christopher is designing a rectangular fence to go around his school's chicken coop. The length should be 2 ft longer than the
width. Christopher marks two vertices of the rectangle at Pand Q in
the coordinate plane. PO is one of the shorter sides. Each unit in the
coordinate plane represents 1 ft.
a. Draw rectangle PQRS in the coordinate plane to model the fence.
b. How many feet of fencing does Christopher need to go around
the chicken coop? Show your work.

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
