Mathematics

Answer:

k = ⅕  

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b, where

m = the slope and

b = the y-intercept

Data:

(3,4)     = a point on the line

(3k,0)   = x-intercept

(0,-5k) = y-intercept

Calculations:

1. Slope

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (-5k - 0)/(0 - 3k) = -5/(-3) = ⁵/₃

This makes the equation

y = ⁵/₃x - 5k

2. k

Insert the value of the known point: (3,4)

4 = (⁵/₃)(3) - 5k

4 = 5 - 5k

-1 = -5k

k = ⅕

The figure below shows your graph passing through (3,4) with intercepts 3k and -5k on the x- and y-axes respectively .

The legs of a right triangle measure 6 inches and 9 inches. If is the angle between the 6-inch leg and the hypotenuse, sin = ___
mr Goodwill [35]
First find the length of the hypotenuse using pythagorean theorem
<span>c^2 = 5^2 + 7^2
c^2 = 25 + 49
c^2 = 64
c=8 (take the square root in both sides)
Since sin = opposite/hypotenuse,
sin = 5/8 = 0.625</span>

You have an initial amount of $55 in a savings account and you deposit an equal amount into your account each week. After 6 week
bonufazy [111]
Given:
initial deposit = 45
total deposit = 105
w = weekly deposit
x = no. of weeks = 5 weeks
y = amount in dollars
45 + 5w = 105
45 + 5w = 105
5w  = 105 - 45
5w =  60
w = 60/5
w = $12 weekly deposit.

y = $45 + $12x  
<span>x = (y - 45)/12

</span>To check:
y = 45 + 12(5)
y = 45 + 60
y = 105 total deposit in 5 weeks

x = (105-45)/12
x = 60/12
x = 5 weeks

Explain how you determine an equation for a line using a table of input/output values.
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
Example :

            x               y
            1               3
            2               6
            3               9
            4               12

first thing u do is pick any 2 points (x,y) from ur table

(1,3) and (2,6)
now we sub those into the slope formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) to find the slope
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(1,3)....x1 = 1 and y1 = 3
(2,6)...x2 = 2 and y2 = 6
sub
slope = (6 - 3) / (2 - 1) = 3/1 = 3

now we use slope intercept formula y = mx + b
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3
use any point off ur table...(1,3)...x = 1 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = 3(1) + b
3 = 3 + b
3 - 3 = b
0 = b

so ur equation is : y = 3x + 0....which can be written as y = 3x...and if u sub any of ur points into this equation, they should make the equation true....if they dont, then it is not correct

and if u need it in standard form..
y = 3x
-3x + y = 0
3x - y = 0 ...this is standard form
