The answer is: No, because we also need to know the type of proportionality


In mathematics, we talk about proportionality when two variables are related and this relationship is that there is a constant ratio between them. There are two types of proportionality.


1. Direct Proportionality:

If there are two variables x and y, we can write the relationship between them as follows:


y=kx


So, by substituting the point in this equation we have that the constant of proportionality is:


4=k(3) \\ \\ \therefore \boxed{k=\frac{4}{3}}


2. Inverse Proportionality:


In this case, the relationship is:


y=\frac{k}{x}


So, the constant of proportionality is:


4=\frac{k}{3} \\ \\ \therefore \boxed{k=12}


As you can see, we have found two different values of the constant of proportionality. So, it is necessary to know the type of proportionality.

How do you solve 14p−8=22+20p ?
Zanzabum

The value of p is -5

Simply use cross multiplication :

The process of multiplying numbers in the shape of a fraction is called cross multiplication. Cross multiplying, also known as cross multiplication, is the process of multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction on the other side of an equal symbol. Cross multiplication is a method for comparing fractions.

Both fractions with like and unlike parts are multiplied across. When employing the cross-multiplication procedure, we multiply the denominators as well as the numerators when a fraction is dissimilar, or when the denominators of two fractions are not alike.

14p-8=22+20p\\or, 14p-20p=22+8\\or, -6p=30\\or, p=-\frac{30}{6} \\or, p= -5

Bens teacher ask him to write a three- digit number that uses the digit 3 once and the digit 6 twice. The value of one 6 needs t
nata0808 [166]
We have three numbers to arrange so that 6 is 1/10 of the value of the other six.

Since position tells us whether we're talking about single, tens, hundreds, thousands (e.g. 25 is two times 10 plus five times 1) we know that the two sixes must be next to each other.

This leaves us with two options.
663 or 366.

In each of these cases the second 6 in the number is one tenth of the first 6.

If we look at the only other option: 636 we see that the second 6 is one hundredth of the value of the first 6.

If a tax percentage is 8% how much money would something $30 be?
lora16 [44]
<span>If the base rate of Taxation percentage is only 8%, and the item in question that is being taxed costs $30, then the answer of how much the tax will cost ends up being 8% of 30. 8% of 30 is 2.4 so 8% of $30 is $2.40. So the cost of the $30 item, including tax, is $32.40.</span>

Suppose you have 3 pieces of string measuring 6 inches, 9 inches, and 12 inches. How many unique triangles can you form with the
siniylev [52]
A triangle should have 3 points and 3 sides. Let say that the point is ABC. Then the sides would be AB, AC and BC.
There are 3 strings with a different length that can be put into the sides. Assuming the string can be used once, then the possible way would be:
3!/(1+3-3)!= 3!/1!= 3*2*1= 6 ways

The equation of the line is y - 3 = 5(x - 8) ⇒ c

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the linear equation is y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}) , where:

  • m is the slope of the line
  • (x_{1},y_{1}) is a point on the line

∵ The line passes through point (8 , 3)

∴ x_{1} = 8 and y_{1} = 3

∵ The slope of the line is 5

∴ m = 5

- Substitute these values in the form of the equation below

∵ y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

∴ y - 3 = 5(x - 8)

The equation of the line is y - 3 = 5(x - 8)
