Weight is dependent on the gravitational force exerted on an object. in other word, in space, you would weigh nothing because there is no gravity. likewise, because the moon's gravitational pull is less than earth's object weigh less on the moon. in general, 1 pound on earth is equal to approximately 0.166 pounds on the moon, about how much, in pounds does he weight on earth? a) 21 b) 48 c) 175 d) 196

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:
