-28-(-16)= What is the answer

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Find the answer

Subtracting a negative number is same as adding a positive number

-28 - (-16)

-28 + 16

-12

 -12

step-by-step explanation:

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
