Is y=7.5x a proportional relationship and why

Mathematics
1 answer:
DerKrebs [107]3 years ago
4 0
Direct Proportion functions look like this:

y=kx

'k' is the constant of proportionality and in this case its 7.5 or 15/2.

--------------------------------------------

When x=1, y=7.5
When x=2, y=15
When x=3, y=22.5

Therefore y is directly proportional to x.

--------------------------------------

DIRECT PROPORTION EXPLAINED:

Say a football costs £7.50. If you buy one football you'll have to pay out £7.50, but if you you buy two footballs you'll have to pay out £15.00. Therefore the cost of the football(s) is directly proportional to the amount of footballs you buy. C=cost, f=football(s) and C<span>∝f, therefore C=kf, but as k=7.5, C=7.5f.

INVERSE PROPORTION EXPLAINED:

If it were to take 8 hours for one bricklayer to set up a wall, how long would it take for two bricklayers to set up a wall? The answer in this case would be 4 hours.

T=time to set up a wall
b=bricklayer(s)

Therefore T</span><span>∝1/b, and T=k/b. In this case k=8 so T=8/b.

When b=1, T=8.
When b=2, T=4.

We'd say that the time it would take for bricklayers to set up a wall would be inversely proportional to the amount of bricklayers available.</span>

Solve 7x − 2y = −3<br> 14x + y = 14
Sauron [17]
7x - 2y = -3

14x + y = 14
14x -14x + y = 14-14x
Y = 14 - 14x

7x -2y = -3
7x - 2(14 - 14x) = -3
7x -28 + 28x = -3
7x + 28x - 28 = -3
35x - 28 = -3
35x - 28 + 28 = -3 + 28
35x = 25
35x/35 = 25/35
X = 25/35 = 5/7.

Y = 14 - 14x
Y = 14 - 14(5/7)
Y = 14 - 10
Y = 4.

The solution P(5/7,4).

What is 15 increased by 60%
vazorg [7]
What is 15 increased by 60 percent? Let's work it out!

First, you must know what 60 percent of 15 is.

<u>60 percent of 15
</u>   15 times .60 
<u />equals
9.

So 60% of 15 is 9.


<u /><u>Increased</u> is a word which<u> means added</u>.

So, 15 plus 9 (15+9) is 24.

Final Answer = 24.
