*Given
3(x+y)=y
y is not equal to zero

*Solution 

1. The given equation is 3(x+y) = y and we are tasked to find the ratio between x and y. Distributing 3 to the terms in the parenthesis, 

                        3(x+y) = y
                      3x + 3y = y

Transposing 3y to the right side OR subtracting 3y from both the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the equation would give

                              3x = -2y

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, 

                                x = (-2/3)y

Dividing both sides of the equation by y, 

                              x/y = -2/3

Therefore, the ratio x/y has a value of -2/3 provided that y is not equal to zero.

Find the coordinates of midpoint F.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The coordinates are (0,b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the coordinates of the midpoint F

as we can see, F is between A and B

we proceed to use the midpoint formula

The midpoint formula is;

(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2

(x1,y1) = (-3a, b)

(x2,y2) = (3a, b)

The substitution of these values will thus yield;

(-3a + 3a)/2, (b + b)/2

= (0/2), (2b/2)

= (0, b)

Determine whether y varies directly with x. If so, find the constant of variation k.
kumpel [21]
Direct variation is y=kx, inverse variation is y=k/x....

-5y=-2x divide both sides by -5

y=2.5x

So this is a direct variation with a constant of 2.5
