Assume that y varies inversely with x. If y=7 when x=2/3, find y when x=7/3

1 answer:

5 0

Inverse variation is of the form:

y=k/x, which we can express as:

yx=k we are given the point (2/3, 7) so we can solve for k

7(2/3)=k

14/3=k

y=14/(3x), so when x=7/3

y=(14/3)/(7/3)

y=(14/3)(3/7)

y=2

What is the slope of the line?

xeze [42]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is rise over run.

Pick a point and count how many steps up and how many steps to the right you need to make to get to the next point. That's how you find slope.

What best describes the expression y over 7? 7 times some number Some number minus 7 7 more than some number Some number divided

marysya [2.9K]

"Over" usually means divide. First hint, check.

If we write it out, it looks like this:

$\frac{y}{7}$

This is the same as some number divided by 7.

Learning Task 3. Find the equation of the line. Do it in your notebook.

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

1) The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 5\cdot x +9$ . The equation of the line in standard form is $-5\cdot x + y = 9$ .

2) The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x +\frac{14}{5}$ . The equation of the line in standard form is $-2\cdot x +5\cdot y = 14$ .

3) The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 3\cdot x +4$ . The equation of the line in standard form is $-3\cdot x +y = 4$ .

4) The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 2\cdot x + 6$ . The equation of the line in standard form is $-2\cdot x +y = 6$ .

5) The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = \frac{5}{6}\cdot x -\frac{7}{6}$ . The equation of the line in standard from is $-5\cdot x + 6\cdot y = -7$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

1) We begin with the slope-intercept form and substitute all known values and calculate the y-intercept: ( $m = 5$ , $x = -1$ , $y = 4$ )

$4 = (5)\cdot (-1)+b$

$4 = -5 +b$

$b = 9$

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 5\cdot x +9$ .

Then, we obtain the standard form by algebraic handling:

$-5\cdot x + y = 9$

The equation of the line in standard form is $-5\cdot x + y = 9$ .

2) We begin with a system of linear equations based on the slope-intercept form: ( $x_{1} = 3$ , $y_{1} = 4$ , $x_{2} = -2$ , $y_{2} = 2$ )

$3\cdot m + b = 4$ (Eq. 1)

$-2\cdot m + b = 2$ (Eq. 2)

From (Eq. 1), we find that:

$b = 4-3\cdot m$

And by substituting on (Eq. 2), we conclude that slope of the equation of the line is:

$-2\cdot m +4-3\cdot m = 2$

$-5\cdot m = -2$

$m = \frac{2}{5}$

And from (Eq. 1) we find that the y-Intercept is:

$b=4-3\cdot \left(\frac{2}{5} \right)$

$b = 4-\frac{6}{5}$

$b = \frac{14}{5}$

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x +\frac{14}{5}$ .

Then, we obtain the standard form by algebraic handling:

$-\frac{2}{5}\cdot x +y = \frac{14}{5}$

$-2\cdot x +5\cdot y = 14$

The equation of the line in standard form is $-2\cdot x +5\cdot y = 14$ .

3) By using the slope-intercept form, we obtain the equation of the line by direct substitution: ( $m = 3$ , $b = 4$ )

$y = 3\cdot x +4$

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 3\cdot x +4$ .

Then, we obtain the standard form by algebraic handling:

$-3\cdot x +y = 4$

The equation of the line in standard form is $-3\cdot x +y = 4$ .

4) We begin with a system of linear equations based on the slope-intercept form: ( $x_{1} = -3$ , $y_{1} = 0$ , $x_{2} = 0$ , $y_{2} = 6$ )

$-3\cdot m + b = 0$ (Eq. 3)

$b = 6$ (Eq. 4)

By applying (Eq. 4) on (Eq. 3), we find that the slope of the equation of the line is:

$-3\cdot m+6 = 0$

$3\cdot m = 6$

$m = 2$

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 2\cdot x + 6$ .

Then, we obtain the standard form by algebraic handling:

$-2\cdot x +y = 6$

The equation of the line in standard form is $-2\cdot x +y = 6$ .

5) We begin with a system of linear equations based on the slope-intercept form: ( $x_{1} = -1$ , $y_{1} = -2$ , $x_{2} = 5$ , $y_{2} = 3$ )

$-m+b = -2$ (Eq. 5)

$5\cdot m +b = 3$ (Eq. 6)

From (Eq. 5), we find that:

$b = -2+m$

And by substituting on (Eq. 6), we conclude that slope of the equation of the line is:

$5\cdot m -2+m = 3$

$6\cdot m = 5$

$m = \frac{5}{6}$

And from (Eq. 5) we find that the y-Intercept is:

$b = -2+\frac{5}{6}$

$b = -\frac{7}{6}$

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = \frac{5}{6}\cdot x -\frac{7}{6}$ .

Then, we obtain the standard form by algebraic handling:

$-\frac{5}{6}\cdot x +y =-\frac{7}{6}$

$-5\cdot x + 6\cdot y = -7$

The equation of the line in standard from is $-5\cdot x + 6\cdot y = -7$ .

Five pounds is equal to 2.268 kilograms. How many kilograms is 2 pounds?

Tema [17]

Given:

5 pounds = 2.268 kilograms

To find:

The number of kilograms in 2 pounds.

Solution:

We have,

5 pounds = 2.268 kilograms

Divide both sides by 5.

1 pounds = $\dfrac{2.268}{5}$ kilograms

1 pounds = 0.4536 kilograms

Multiply both sides by 2.

2 pounds = 2×0.4536 kilograms

2 pounds = 0.9072 kilograms

Therefore, the correct option is B.
