How can you write the equation for a linear function if you know only two ordered pairs for the function? Drag tiles to complete the explanation. Tiles may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

Step-by-step explanation:

m

one set of ordered pair

b

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
