W = kL    where W = weight supported,  L = length of the beam and k is constant of variation.

Substituting the given values:-

310 = 2k
k = 155

so equation of variation is W = 155L

For length 10  m  the weight it can support is

W = 155*10  = 1550 kg answer

Answer:

62 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the weight of beam and l be the length of beam.

We have been given that the weight that a horizontal beam can support varies inversely as the length of the beam.

We know that inversely proportion quantities are in form: y=\frac{k}{x}, where k is constant of proportionality.

w=\frac{k}{l}

First of all, we will find the value of k using the w=310 and l=2 in inversely proportion equation as:

310=\frac{k}{2}

310*2=\frac{k}{2}*2

620=k

Now we will substitute 620=k and l=10, in our given equation as:

w=\frac{620}{10}

w=62

Therefore, a 10-m beam can support 62 kilograms.

Find the equation of the line that passes through (1,3) and is perpendicular to y = 1 − 2 x
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} x+\displaystyle \frac{5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept.

Perpendicular lines always have slopes that are negative reciprocals (ex. 1/2 and -2, 3/4 and -4/3)

<u>Determine the slope (</u><em><u>m</u></em><u>):</u>

y = 1 -2x

Rearrange into slope-intercept form:

y = -2x+1

Now, we can identify clearly that the slope is -2. Because perpendicular lines always have slopes that are negative reciprocals, a perpendicular line would have a slope of \displaystyle\frac{1}{2}. Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} x+b

<u>Determine the y-intercept (</u><em><u>b</u></em><u>):</u>

y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} x+b

Plug in the given point (1,3) and solve for <em>b</em>:

3=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} *1+b\\\\b=\displaystyle \frac{5}{2}

Therefore, the y-intercept is \displaystyle \frac{5}{2}. Plug this back into y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} x+b:

y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} x+\displaystyle \frac{5}{2}

I hope this helps!

Rhombus A has a base of 7 inches and an area of 35 square inches. Rhombus B has a base and height that are three times the base
STALIN [3.7K]
For rhombus A:
base = 7 in
area = 35 in²

Area of rhombus = b * h
⇒ 35 = 7 * h
⇒ h = 35/7
⇒ h = 5 in

Rhombus B:
height = 3*5 = 15 in
base = 7*3 = 21 in
Area = 15 * 21 = 315 in²

Area of rhombus B is 9 times area of rhombus A. When the dimensions are increased to 3 times the initial dimension, area became 9 times.

Which equation of a line contains point (1-1) and is parallel toy = 2x + 5?​
ella [17]

Answer:

Answer is y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

• Equation of parallel lines have the same slope. So first two equations are okay.

• For point (1, -1):

{ \rm{y = mx + c}} \\ { \rm{ - 1 = 2 + c}} \\ { \rm{c =  - 3}}

• Equation is y = 2x - 3
