Mathematical sentence with an explanation on how to do it .the original price of a computer was reduced by 250 dollars. the new, discounted price is 1499 dollars write a mathematical sentence that expresses the information given below. use p as your variable name. if necessary:

type < = to mean

or > = to mean .

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

graph of this function as shown below:
