x: -5, -3, 4, -8, 24
y: 2.4, 4, -3, -1.5, -0.5

To determine if there is direct variation, we need to check if the ratio y/x remains constant. Let's calculate the ratios for each pair of values:

-5: 2.4/(-5) = -0.48
-3: 4/(-3) = -1.33
4: -3/4 = -0.75
-8: -1.5/(-8) = 0.1875
24: -0.5/24 = -0.0208

The ratios are not constant, indicating that there is no direct variation between x and y.

To determine if the...
