If x varies directly with y and x = 6 when y = 15, find x when y= 20.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kaylis [27]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Varies directly think y=kx

Varies indirectly think y=k/x

We have first option so y=kx

x=6 and y=15 means we have 15=k(6)

So k=15/6 or reducing gives=5/2

So we just found our constant of proportionality, this number never changes.  It stays the same no matter what x or y they give you...

So the equation is y=5/2 *x

Now what is x if y=20

Plug in 20=5/2 *x

So x=20*2/5=40/5=8

What happens to a line when the y-intercept is changed? Check all that apply
Bond [772]
A and B
Reason and proof:
suppose we have the following function
f(x) = 2x + 1
the y intercept is 1 therefor it'll intersect the y axis at (0,1)
however if the function was to be
f(x) = 2x - 1
the y intercept is -1 that means it intersect the y axis at (0,-1)

Please I really need help 100 points
Afina-wow [57]

Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 2:

\begin{cases}6x-9y=27\\6x+10y=8\end{cases}

Subtract the two equation to get rid of the x variable:

-9y-10y=27-8 \iff -19y = 19 \iff y = -1

Use the value of y to determine the value of x: for example, using the first equation we have

2x+3=9 \iff 2x=6 \iff x=3
