Answer/Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
Direct variation occurs when a variable varies directly with another variable. That is, as the x-variable increases, the y-variable also increases.
The ratio of between y-variable and x-variable would be constant.
Direct variation can be represented by the equation,
, where k is a constant. Thus,

From the table given, it seems, as x increases, y also increases. Let's find out if there is a constant of proportionality (k).
Thus, ratio of y to x, 
k = 0.5.
If the given table of values has a direct variation relationship, then, plugging in the values of any (x, y), into
, should give us the same constant if proportionality.
Let's check:
When x = 2, and y = 1:
,
,
When x = 3, y = 1.5:
,
When x = 5, y = 2.50:
,
The constant of proportionality is the same. Therefore, the relationship forms a direct variation.
The half-angle formula for tangent is:
tan(a/2) = (sin a / (1 + cos a)) = ((1 - cos a) / sin a)
Now we can plug in values:
tan(5π/8) = (sin(5π/4) / (1 + cos(5π/4)) = ((1 - cos(5π/4)) / sin(5π/4)
tan(5π/8) = (-√2/2) / (1 + (-√2/2)) = (1 - (-√2/2)) / (-√2/2)
tan(5π/8) = ((-√2/2)) / ((2 - √2)/2) = ((2 + √2)/2) / (-√2/2)
Now we can solve the first half:
(-√2/2)(2 / (2 - √2))
(-√2/2)((4 + 2√2) / 2)
(-√2/2)(2 + √2)
(-2√2 - 2)/2
-√2 - 1
tan(5pi/8) = -√2 - 1
(12 - 9) / 12 = (40 - x) / 40
3/12 = (40 - x) / 40
40(1/4) = 40 - x
10 = 40 - x
10 - 40 = -x
-30 = -x
30 = x <=== percent decrease from 40 to 30

the answer is the option B
The basic consumer right includes "Right to be informed" that states the availability of information required for weighing alternatives, and protection from false and misleading claims in advertising and labeling practices.
Hence, the sentence "Steven allows customers to look at different products and verify the product details before choosing a product. Steven’s priority is satisfied customers" - justifies the definition of consumer rights.
So, this above sentence highlights the protection of consumer rights.
