The length that a hanging spring stretches varies directly with the weight placed at the end of the spring. If a weight of 15lb

15⁢lb stretches a certain spring 19in. 19⁢in. , how far will the spring stretch if the weight is increased to 30lb 30⁢lb ? (Leave the variation constant in fraction form. Round off your final answer to the nearest in.)

Answer: the spring would be stretched by 38 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length that a hanging spring stretches varies directly with the weight placed at the end of the spring. Let L represent the length of the spring and let w represent the weight placed at the end of the spring. Introducing a constant of variation, k, the expression would be

L = kW

If a weight of 15lb stretches a certain spring 19in, the expression would be

19 = 15k

k = 19/15

The equation would be

L = 19w/15

if the weight is increased to 30lb, then the length by which the spring would be stretched is

L = 19 × 30/15

L = 38 inches

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y=0.6x+3 and that passes through the point
a_sh-v [17]
A line parallel to y = 0.6x + 3 will be of the form:

y = 0.6x + k

where k is a constant.

It passes through (-3,-5)

Thus,

y = 0.6x + k \\ \\ -5 = 0.6 \times (-3) + k \\ \\ -5 = -1.8 + k \\ \\k = -5 + 1.8 \\ \\ k = -3.2

\textbf{The equation is \: \: y = 0.6x - 3.2}

Help, please!!! Coordinate planes: find the distance. Thanks for helping!
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The answer would be 11.3

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is figure out how far one is from the other so from 7.8 I went back to 0 of course the Y coordinate stays the same. So then you get the -3.5 make it a positive so just 3.5 and then add to 7.8 to get 11.3

Hope this helped.

A brainliest is always appreciated.

A tree farm owner uses a grid to mark where to plant trees in the spring. The first tree is planted at (2, 3). Each of the other
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

See attached image for the drawing of the first four trees (circled in green)

The patterns is:

x = 2+3n  and  y= 3+2n

Position of 7th tree is: (20,15) (circled in orange in the image)

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting at the location (2,3) the next x and y positions are given by:

x = 2+3n since the horizontal position needs to be increased by 3 units on each iteration,

and y= 3+2n since the vertical position needs to be increased by 2 units on each iteration

being n= 1 through 6 (to account for the next 6 trees that need to be planted)

With such pattern, the location of the seventh tree would be:

x = 2 + 3*6 =2 + 18 = 20

y = 3 + 2*6 = 3 + 12 = 15

That is, the point (20,15) on the plane.

Also see attached image.

Please give an explanation on how you got this answerI'm not sure if it's too late or what, but I can't get it.
Alona [7]
Step 1: multiple the second equation by 2 so that you get -1/4 for the coefficient of y, the same as in equation 1
equation 2 multiply by 2: 1/4 x - 1/4 y=38  ..........name this equation 3
subtract equation 1 from equation 3: (1/4 x -1/2 x)=38-10
-1/4 x = 28
x=-112
plug in x=-112 in any of the equation, you will get y=-264
so the answer is A
