Answer:

at x=0 (the origin)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a proportional relationship is ...

y = kx

The equation of a straight line is ...

y = kx +b . . . . . for some y-intercept b

<h3>Comparison to general line</h3>

Comparing the proportional relation to the relation for a general line, we see that b=0 in the proportional relation. That is, the y-intercept is at y=0, the origin of the Cartesian coordinate plane.

The graph crosses the x-axis at (0, 0), or x=0.

Additional comment

In y=kx, the value k is called "the constant of proportionality." It is also the slope of the line on a graph.

In the usual representation of the slope-intercept equation of a line, y=mx+b, the slope of the line is represented by 'm'. In the above, we used 'k' for that purpose, to facilitate comparing the equations.

If sides are congruent then the angles ACROSS from them are also congruent.
Since WV and VU are congruent, angle U is congruent to angle W.
Set up an equation and solve.
See attachment.
x = 8

The larger of two numbers is four more than the smaller. if the larger is x what is the smaller?

Lelu [443]

Answer:

x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the larger of two numbers is four more than the smaller one, this means that there is a difference of 4 between the two numbers. In order to find the smaller of both numbers, you can obtain the smaller from the largest by subtracting 4.

Which box-and-whisker plot represents the data set? 11, 6, 19, 14, 21, 7, 13, 15, 15

Katena32 [7]

The box and whisker plot is attached.

We first order the data from least to greatest:
6, 7, 11, 13, 14, 15, 15, 19, 21

The median is the middle value, or 14.
The lower quartile is the median of the lower half (split by the median). This is between 7 and 11: (7+11)/2 = 18/2 = 9
The upper quartile is the median of the upper half (split by the median). This is between 15 and 19: (15+19)/2 = 34/2 = 17
The highest value is 21.
The lowest value is 6.

We draw the middle line of the box at 14, the median. We draw the left side of the box at the lower quartile, 9. We draw the right side of the box at the upper quartile, 17. From the right side of the box, we draw a whisker to the highest value, 21. From the left side of the box, we draw a whisker to the lowest value, 6.
