The variable Z is inversely proportional to X. When X is 6, Z has the value 2.

1 answer:

6 0

Inverse proportion is of the form:

y=k/x, in this case the variables are

z=k/x, and we are given the point (6,2) so we can solve for k

2=k/6

12=k, so our equation is:

z=12/x, so when x=13

z=12/13

How do you write the equation of a line (in slope intercept form) with three given points?

Mrrafil [7]

With even just two points, you can find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept

1) Solve for the slope ( $m$ )

The equation to solve for the slope is $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ when the two points are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ . Plug the coordinates of these points into the equation and solve for $m$ .

Then, plug $m$ into $y=mx+b$ .

1) Solve for the y-intercept ( $b$ )

Then, take any of the given points and plug it into $y=mx+b$ along with the slope. Isolate $b$ to get the y-intercept. Then, plug both m and b back into $y=mx+b$ to get your final equation.

I hope this helps!
