15. Amy is currently 8 years older than her neighbor Bill. In 4 years she will be 2 times as old as Bill. Let x equal Bill's current age.
1) What expression represents Amy's current age?

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

other answer is correct. i had used the radius of the radius somehow. a website:
