3. mrs. cashmore bought a large melon. she cut a piece that weighed 1 1/8 pounds and gave it to her
neighbor. the remaining piece of melon weighed 6/8 pound. how much did the whole melon weigh?

Ifound this on google “that means that the graph of a function with direct variation has these features: it is a straight line: because the slope is the ratio y/x = k. it passes through the origin (0,0): because y = kx = k (0) = 0.” i hope this you for what your looking for

The answer will be y=-5+0 because the slope is -5 and the it has to go through y-axis 0
