Answer:

X=20. Our x coordinate is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based from the given slope of 1/2 and a y-intercept of -6, our equation of a line is y=x/2 -6. To remove the fraction we can multiply the equation by 2 to get 2y=x-12. Using this substitute the value of y coordinate 4.

2(4)= x-12

8+12 =x

X=20.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since the line has a slope of 1/2, the x coefficient of the line is 1/2. Since the y intercept is -6, we have the equation of the line

x/2 - 6 = y

Since in this case y = 4, we have

x/2 - 6 = 4

x/2 = 10

x = 20

So the x coordinate is 20 when the y coordinate is 4.

It takes three identical water pumps 8 hours to fill a pool, What is the constant of variation?

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Constant of variation is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse variation states that a relationship between two variables in which the product is remain constant.

If one variable increases then, the other one decreases in proportion so that the product is unchanged,

if y is inversely proportional to x i.e $y \propto\frac{1}{x}$ or

$y =\frac{k}{x}$ ;where k is the constant of variation.

It is given that 3 identical water pumps takes 8 hours to fill a pool,

since, it will take less time with more pumps, so it is an inverse variation.

By definition of inverse variation;

$time = \frac{k}{pump}$

Substitute the values to solve for k;

$8 = \frac{k}{3}$

Multiply by 3 to both sides we get;

$8 \times 3 = \frac{k}{3} \times 3$

Simplify:

k = 24

Therefore, the constant of variation is, 24

Tamika went hiking with her friends. The beginning of -1 feet. The highest elevation on hiking path is 100 feet. What is the dif

const2013 [10]

hello!

so the difference is 101 and here is why!

you want to minus -1 from 100

100 - (-1)

but because it is a double negative it will become addition

100 + 1

so the difference is 101 feet

i hope this helped :)
