<h3>Answer: No, this function is not linear</h3>

This function is a hyperbola. It graphs out two disjoint curves. A linear function produces a single straight line graph. All linear functions can be written in the form y = mx+b. The x being in the denominator is one indicator we cannot write the original equation in the form y = mx+b.

y = 3/x is the same as xy = 3; this tells us every point on y = 3/x has its (x,y) coordinate pair multiply to 3.

Meg is a veterinarian. In a given week, 50% of

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

a. Meg needs to find the part

b. Steve needs to find the percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete.

This is the complete question:

Meg is a veterinarian. In a given week, 50% of the 16 dogs she saw were Boxers. Steve is also a veterinarian. In the same week, 7 of the 35 dogs he saw this week were Boxers. Each wants to record the part the whole, and the percent.

a. Does Meg need to find the part, the whole, or the percent.

b. Does Steve need to find the part, the whole, or the percent.

<h2>Solution to the problem</h2>

a. Does Meg need to find the part, the whole, or the percent.

Meg already knows the whole and the percent.

The whole is the entire number of dogs seen: 16 dogs.

The percent is 50%.

Hence, she needs to find the part: this is how many (what part) of the 16 dogs she saw were boxers.

And she can do with a simple operation:

Part = whole × percent = 16 × 50% = 8. This is 8 dogs of 16 were boxers.

b. Does Steve need to find the part, the whole, or the percent.

He already knows the part (7 of the 35 dogs were boxers) and the whole (35 dogs).

Then he needs to find the percent, which he can do using the next operation:

Percent = (part / whole) × 100 = (7/35)×100 = 20%

Which expression is equivalent to 1/8x- 1/2?

pychu [463]

This is done by factoring. 1/8 is smaller than 1/2, so we can factor a 1/8 out of 1/2. This is what that looks like: $\frac{ \frac{1}{2} }{ \frac{1}{8} }$ , because factoring after all is a form of division. When we divide a fraction by a fraction, we bring the lower fraction up and flip it to multiply, giving us this: $\frac{1}{2} * \frac{8}{1}$ . This of course reduces to 4. So when we factor out 1/8, what we will have then is $\frac{1}{8} (x-4)$ , choice D from above.

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line y=3x-4=8y+1

Lyrx [107]

Answer: If the original equation is y = 3x -4, the slope is 3.

Any equation of a line parallel to the line y = 3x -4 will have a slope of 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In slope-intercept form, y =mx + b the coefficient of x, m is the slope.

Here 3 is that value.

It is very unusual to have two equal signs in a question about slope.

I am not sure what to do with the =8y + 1

Is this supposed to be another equation in the system, missing a term?
