Answer:

Option C. y=(3/4)x

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

so

Find the value of the constant k

For the point (-8,-6)

k=y/x=(-6/-8)=3/4

For the point (12,9)

k=y/x=(9/12)=3/4

<u><em>Note</em></u> A single point was required to find the constant k (because the line passes through the origin)

The equation is equal to

y=(3/4)x

Write the equation for the circle with center at (1, - 2) and passing through the origin.
Pie

Answer:

(x – 1)² + (y +2)² = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that the general form of the equation for the circle is as follows:

(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²

where, (h,k) are the coordinates for the center of the circle and r is the radius of the circle.

We are given that the center of the circle is at (1,-2). Comparing this with the description of h & k above, we can immediately conclude that h = 1 and k = -2.

Hence the only thing we are missing now is radius r.

It is given that the circle passes through the origin, hence if we draw a line between the origin (0,0) and the center (1,-2), this distance is the radius.

to find the distance between 2 points, we use the attached formula

Distance = radius, r = √ [ (1-0)² + (-2-0)²]

r = √ [ (1² + (-2)²]

r = √ [1 + 4] = √ 5

hence we can assemble the equation

(x – 1)² + (y – (-2))² = (√5)²

(x – 1)² + (y +2)² = 5

What is the solution of the system of equations?
Charra [1.4K]
When we are given a system of 3 linear equations, with 3 variables, we proceed as follows:

We consider 2 pairs or equations, for example (1, 2) and (2, 3), and eliminate one of the variables in each pair, creating a system of 2 linear equations with 2 unknowns. 

Note that the third equation contains -2y which can be used to eliminate easily -6y in the second equation, and -4y in the fourth.

i) consider equations 1 and 3:

-3x-4y-3z=-7
5x-2y+5z=9

multiply the second equation by -2:

-3x-4y-3z=-7
-10x+4y-10z=-18

adding the 2 equations we have -13x-13z=-25

ii) consider equations 2 and 3. Multiply the third equation by -3:

    2x-6y+2z=3
-15x+6y-15z=-27

adding the 2 equations we have -13x-13z=-24

So we got -13x-13z is -25, but also -24. this means the system is inconsistent, so it has no solution.

Answer: the system has no solutions

Me. Fowler has 16 homework papers and 14 exit tickets to return. Ms. Rivera has 64 homework papers and 60 exit tickets to return
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms Fowler's ratio would be 8:7 and Ms Rivera's would be 16:15, they are not equivalent because the numbers didn't come out to the same ratio when i divided them and 16 and 1 aren't divisible by the same numbers.

here are the steps i took:

1. wrote down the original ratios (16:15 and 64:60)

2. I divided all the numbers by 2 and got them reduced to 8:7 and 30:32

3. I saw that the 8:7 couldn't be divided anymore, so I left it and divided 30 by 2 and 32 by 2 and got 16:15

4. I saw that I couldn't divide those anymore so I compared the ratios and saw that they were not the same so they weren't equal.

hope this helped!

Write an equation for the line in slope- intercept form <br>points are:<br>-2,-2<br>-1,1<br>0,4<br>​
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

y=3x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is written as y=mx+b

m = the slope

slope is rise over run or (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). We need to choose which y value is y2 and the corresponding x value is the x2. If -2 is y2, then:

x2 = -2

y1 = 1

x1 = -1

then plug in the values.

(-2-1)/(-2-(-1))

-3/-1 = 3

m =3

then plug in values for the first equation. you can use any point on the line.

y = 3x+b

4 = 3*0 +b

4=0+b

b = 4

then write it with out x or y

y = 3x+4
