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

40=\frac{k}{5}\\k=40*5\\k=200

The constant is 200.

A line passes through (2,8) and (4,12) which equation best represents the line
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

y=2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:\solving for the slope you get (12-8)/(4-2)=4/2=2

solving for the y intercept you subtract 4 from 8 because 2*2 is 4 and (2,8) is 2 x values away from the y intercept so 8-4=4 so the y intercept is 4

so y=2x+4

The sum of two consecutive even integers is 106. What are the integers?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

The integers are 52 and 54

Step-by-step explanation:

x = first even integer

x + 2 = next integer that is even

x + x + 2 = 106

2x + 2 = 106

2x = 104

x = 52

x + 2 = 54

Help find length of ac n explain please thanks
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

AC = 12.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

use cosine law c^2 = a^2 + b^2 − 2ab cos(C)

c^2 = 6^2 + 10^2 - 2(6)(10)(cosin100)

c^2 = 156.84

c= √156.84

c= 12.5 cm

The cosine rule is used when we are given either three sides or two sides and the included angle.
