If y varies directly as x and y = 3 when x = - 9, then find x when y = 5.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rus_ich [418]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

d. - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for direct variation is

y = kx

We know y =3 when x = -9

3 = k(-9)

Divide by -9

3/-9 = -9k/-9

-1/3 = k

The equation is then

y = -1/3 x

We know y = 5

5 = -1/3 x

Multiply each side by -3

-3*5 = -3*-1/3x

-15 = x

TiliK225 [7]

okay 1 student = 1/20 chance of picking yellow

1/20 (30/30) = 30/600 chance of picking yellow out of 30 studnets

30/600 = 0.05 = 5% chance of choosing yellow.

I each studnet picks 1 yellow marker. Is that all the options?

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

If there are 5000 bacteria in a colony right now, there will be  5000x2, or 10000 bacteria in the colony in 37 minutes.

If there are 10000 bacteria in the colony in 37 minutes, there will be 20000 bacteria in the colony in 74 minutes, as the bacteria doubles every 34 minutes.

Let me know if this helps!

Answer:

<em>y = (-4/3)*x + 7</em>

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line is: <em>y = a*x + b </em>

In the above equation, <em>a </em>is the slope of the line representing the equation in the graph and y is the function of x [y = y(x)]

The given line has a slope of -4/3, so that <em>a = -4/3 </em>

=> The equation of this line has a form as following: <em>y = (-4/3)*x + b (1)</em>

<em />

As the line passes through the point (9; -5) (in which: x = 9; y = -5). Replace x =9 and y = -5 into the equation (1), we have:

<em>y = (-4/3)*x + b</em>

<em>=> -5 = (-4/3)*9 + b </em>

<em>=> -5 = -12 + b </em>

<em>=> b = 7</em>

<em />

So that the equation in point-slope form of the given line is:

<em>y = (-4/3)*x + 7</em>

<em />
