If y varies inversely as x and y=40 when x=5, then the constant is
1 answer:
The constant is 200.
Further explanation:
An inverse propertion states that if one quantity increases the other decreases and vice versa.
It can also be written as:
if y varies inversely with x
then
y∝1/x
y=k/x
When the proportionality symbol is removed, a proportionality constant is introduced
Given
y=40
x=5
Putting in equation
The constant is 200.

Answer: See the picture attached.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following mixed numbers:
You need to convert them to decimal numbers. The steps to do this are shown below:
1. Divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator.
2. Add the quotient obtained to the whole number part.
Then:
Therefore, the point is:
Where is the x-coordinate and
is the y-coordinate.
Knowing this, you can plot it on the coordinate plane, as you can see in the picture attached.
