Number of boys = (7 /(7+3))*50 =( 7 / 10 )*50 = 7*5 = 35

so there are 35 boys in the class

It is known that the point P(-9,18) belongs to the graph of the function y=k/x. Find k.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

$k = (-162)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A point of the form $(x_{0},\, y_{0})$ belongs to the graph of this function, $y = k / x$ , if and only if the equation of this function holds after substituting in $x = x_{0}$ and $y = y_{0}$ .

The question states that the point $(-9,\, 18)$ belongs to the graph of this function. Thus, the equation of this function, $y = k / x$ , should hold after substituting in $x = (-9)$ and $y = 18$ :

$y = k / x$ .

$18 = k / (-9)$ .

Solve this equation for the constant $k$ :

$\begin{aligned}k &= 18 \times (-9) \\ &= (-162)\end{aligned}$ .

Thus, $k = (-162)$ .
