Re-solve please.

2 5/6 + (-1 4/12) =

1.5 as decimal, 1 1/2 as a fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

1. convert 2 5/6 & (-1 4/12) to a improper fraction.

17/6 and  -16/12

2. multiply 17/6 by 2 to match -16/12's denominator

17/6 * 2 = 34/12

We now have

34/12 + -16/12

A positive number plus a negative number is the same thing as subtraction so we remove the negative sign and replace the plus with a minus sign.

We have:

Now solve. 34-16 = 18

our answer is 18/12

the answer to the question is a  

it has the same slope and the same y-intercept.

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
