3a/5=1/4 multiply both sides by 5

3a=5/4 divide both sides by 3

a=5/12

3/5a = 1/4....multiply both sides by 5/3, cancelling out the 3/5 on the left
a = 1/4 * 5/3
a = 5/12

Find the distance between the points (−8, 5) and (7, −3).

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

use distance formula $\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^{2}+(y_1-y_2)^{2} }$

$\sqrt{(7-(-8))^{2}+((-3)-5)^{2} }$

simplify

$\sqrt{(7+8)^{2}+(-3-5)^{2} }$

$\sqrt{(15)^{2}+(-8)^{2} }$

$\sqrt{225+64}$

$\sqrt{289}$

solve the square root

$17$

Write an equation of the direct variation that includes the point (6,-2)

olga55 [171]

Answer:

$y = - \frac{1}{3}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a direct variation is generally written as:

$y = mx$

Where m is the slope of the equation of the direct variation line.

We want a direct variation equation that contains (6,-2).

We substitute the x=6 and y=-2 to find m.

$- 2 = 6m$

Divide both sides by 6.

$\frac{ - 2}{ 6} = \frac{6m}{ 6}$

$- \frac{1}{3} = m$

The required equation is

$y = - \frac{1}{3}x$
