You are buying shoes online. The selling price is $29.99. The sales tax is 6.5% What is the total cost? Round to the nearest penny, if necessary. ($31.94) The cost of shipping is 15% of the total cost. What is the total cost plus shipping?

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:

3 is greater then both of those numbers

answer: 7
