Which describes the slope of this line? number graph ranging from negative three to one in increments of point five on the x axis and negative two to two in increments of point five on the y axis. a vertical line is drawn between x equals negative one and x equals negative one point five. a. positive slope b. undefined slope c. zero slope d. negative slope

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:

answer: no, but if it does it's a obvious pattern.
