If we know that u varies inversely as x and y =8 when x=15, what is y when x=10? What is the constant of variation?

The appropriate math model would be y = k/x.

Unsure of why you are using " u " here.

If y = 8 when x = 15, then 8 = k/15, and k = 120. This is the const. of var.

Then y = 120/x. If x = 10, y = 120/10 = 12.

Answer:

Your graph would start at the point 0,2 (over 0 up 2). Other points would be (2,8), (4,14), (-2,-4), and so on. A good website for graphing is Desmos.com .you can plug an equation in and it will graph it for you!

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to x=3x=3x, equals, 3 and that passes through the point (0,-4)(0,−4)left pare

leva [86]

Answer: $x+3y=12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of two lines that are perpendicular to each other is 1.

If one line is $y=3x$ , then its slope = 3 [by comparing to the linear equation y= mx+c, here m=3]

Let n be the slope of the required line, then

$n\times3=-1\\\\\rightarrow\ n=\dfrac{-1}{3}$

Equation of line with slope n and passers through (a,b) is

$(y-b)=n(x-a)$

Equation of line with slope n= $\dfrac{-1}{3}$ and passes through point ( 0,-4) :

$(y-(-4))=\dfrac{-1}{3}(x-0)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y+4=\dfrac{-1}{3}x\\\\\Rightarrow\ -3(y+4)=x\\\\\Rightarrow-3y-12=x\\\\\Rightarrow x+3y=12$

Hence, Required equation : $x+3y=12$
