Here are some steps to determine if a proportional relationship exists between two variables in a graph ! Hope it's useful~

*1.   Note whether the line is straight. When two variables are in proportion, the line representing them will be straight. This means that the slope of the line is constant, or follows the equation\

*2.  Determine the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. When two variables are directly proportional, when graphed their line will cross through the origin. The origin is at the point {(0,0)}, so the y-intercept of the line should be (0). If it isn’t, the variables are not directly proportional.**The y-axis is the vertical axis.

*3.  Find the coordinates of two points on the line. Compare the coordinates with each other, and determine whether each coordinate changed by the same factor.[6] That is, determine whether the constant ({k}) is the same for both the { x} and { y} values.For example, if the first point is {(1,3)}, and the second point is { (2,6)}, the x-coordinate changed by a factor of 2, since<span> { 1(2)=2}. The y-coordinate also changed by a factor of 2, since { 3(2)=6}. Thus, you can confirm that the line represents two variables that are directly proportional.

A flower pot, in the shape of a cylinder,l has a circumference of 66 in. and a height of 30 in.
Vaselesa [24]
The amount of soil that the pot can hold is best approximated by calculating for the volume of the cylinder through the equation,
                                V = πr²h
We first calculate for the radius, r, given the circumference, C
                      C = 2πr;    r = C/2π = 66 in/2(π) = 10.5 in
Then, substituting the known values. 
                             V = π(10.5 in)²(30 in) 
                                 V = 10,390.81 in³
Thus, the volume of the soil is approximately 10,400. The answer is the third set.

The ratio of green food coloring to blue food coloring is 1:2. If we use 6 drops of blue, how many drops of green will we need?
labwork [276]

1:2 means for every 1 drop of green there was 2 blue

6/2 = 3

Answer:

D. -12s squared + 11st - 2t squared

Step-by-step explanation:

FOIL:

-3s(4s) - 3s(-t) + 2t(4s) + 2t(-t)

- 12s² + 3st + 8st - 2t²

Simplify.

- 12s² + 11st - 2t²

The triangles are similar.
Natalija [7]
X=23

I say this because you can see that the scale factor is 3 due to just visually scaling both the long and short leg from the original triangle to the dilated triangle. Dividing 39 by 3 is 13, and doing it in reverse. Adding 10 would equal 23, the initial value. So that'd be the missing value.
