Answer:

In the equation y = mx + c the value of m is called the slope, (or gradient), of the line. It can be positive, negative or zero. The value of c is called the vertical intercept of the line. It is the value of y when x = 0. When drawing a line, c gives the position where the line cuts the vertical axis.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A table with 6 columns and 2 rows. The first row, x, has entries, negative 3, negative 1, 2, 5, 10. The second row, y, has entries, negative 7.5, negative 2.5, 5.0, 12.5, 25

Please find attached the graphs of the table data

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the given table data of in the tables are analysed to find direct variation;

Table 1

x, -3, -1, 2, 5, 10

y, -4.5, -3.0, -1.5, 0.0, 1.5

-4.5/-3 = 1.5 ≠ -3.0/-1 = 3

No direct variation

Table 2

x, -5.5, -4.5, -3.5, -2.5, -1.5

y, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2

10/(-5.5) = -20/11 ≠ 8/(-4.5) = -16/9
