It's a linear function: y = mx + b

We have (138; 112.96); (209; 142.78)

substitute the values of x and y to the formula of slope m:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\m=\dfrac{142.78-112.96}{209-138}=0.42$

Now we have: $y=0.42x+b$

We must find b. Substitute the value of x and y from first pair of numbers:

$112.96=0.42\cdot138+b\\\\112.96=57.96+b\ \ \ |-57.96\\\\b=55$

Answer: y = 0.42x + 55

The current l, in a circuit varies inversely with the resistance, R. If the resistance is 12 when the current is 3, what is the

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given I varies inversely with R then the equation relating them is

I = $\frac{k}{R}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition R = 12 when I = 3

k = IR = 3 × 12 = 36

I = $\frac{36}{R}$ ← equation of variation

When I = 6, then

6 = $\frac{36}{R}$ , hence

R = $\frac{36}{6}$ = 6
