Answer:
Direct variation
[tex]k = 2.5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached table
Required
The type of variation
First, we check for direct variation using:
[tex]k = \frac{y}{x}[/tex]
Pick corresponding points on the table
[tex](x,y) = (-2,-5)[/tex]
So:
[tex]k = \frac{-5}{-2} = 2.5[/tex]
[tex](x,y) = (4,10)[/tex]
So:
[tex]k = \frac{10}{4} = 2.5[/tex]
[tex](x,y) = (6,15)[/tex]
So:
[tex]k = \frac{15}{6} = 2.5[/tex]
Hence, the table shows direct variation with [tex]k = 2.5[/tex]
