Your friend evaluates ( 10-k ) divided by 5 . k stands for 5 and the friend gets 9 as the answer . explain the error

(10 - k) ÷ 5 = 9

(10 - 5) ÷ 5 = 9

5 ÷ 5 = 9

1 = 9

1 does not equal 9

Hope this helps! Please mark brainliest! Have a great day!

Thank you for using

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
