Answer:

The equation is y = -3x.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we say that a variable varies directly as another variable, or is directly proportionate to another variable, we mean that the variable changes with the same ratio as the other variable increases.

This kind of correlation can be represented as a linear function that passes through the origin, the equation of which is of the form y = kx \:{(k > 0)}. The two variables we are considering are <em>x</em> and <em>y</em>, while <em>k</em> is called the constant of proportionality.

We know the constant of proportionality k = -3, applying the above definition we get that the equation is y = -3x.

Sound travels through sea water at a speed of about 1500 meters per second. At this rate, how far will sound travel in 2 minutes
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

180,000 m

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 60 seconds in a minute, so:

2 min × 60 s/min = 120 s

Distance = rate × time

d = 1500 m/s × 120 s

d = 180,000 m

Of 1800 students enrolled in school 55% are girls. of the girls attending this school 30% take the bus to school
leonid [27]
55% of 1800 = 0.55(1800) = 990...so there are 990 girls in the school

30% of 990 = 0.30(990) = 297...so there are 297 girls who take the bus

Franky's age is 5 years less that 1/2 his mothers age. If Franky is 13 years old,write an equation to determine his mothers age
Alik [6]

Answer:

1/2x-5=13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Frankie’s mother’s age

Half his mother’s age= 1/2x

5 less than that=1/2x-5

We know that Frankie is 13 so that equation is equal to Frankie’s age, which is 13.

Hope this helps.
