Hello,

y=k*x ; if x=1.2,y=12
==>12=k*1.2==>k=12/1.2==>k=10

Answer:

constant of variation is 10.

Second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that y varies directly as x. Thus, we have

y = kx.............(1)

k is the constant of variation

Now, it has been given that when y is 12 then x is 1.2.

Hence, substituting x = 1.2 and y = 12 in equation (1)

12 = 1.2 k

Divide both sides by 1.2

k = 12/1.2

k = 10

Therefore, constant of variation is 10.

Second option is correct.

Which equation represents a line which is parallel to the line 2x+y=-8?A. y=− 1/2 x−4B. y=−2x+5C. y=2x+3D. y= 1/2x+2
katrin2010 [14]

Two lines that are parallel have the same slope. In its slope-intersect form, we can write the equation of a line with slope m and y-intercept b as:

y=mx+b

Step 1

Write the given equation in slope-intercept form and identify its slope m.

\begin{gathered} 2x+y=-8 \\  \\ 2x+y-2x=-2x-8 \\  \\ y=-2x-8 \end{gathered}

Thus:

m=-2

Step 2

Find the equation with the same slope m = -2. We need to identify which of them has -2 multiplying the variable x.

Answer

From the given options, the only one with the same slope m = -2, therefore parallel to the given line, is:

y=-2x+5\text{      (option B)}

The table below represents the distance of an airplane from its destination as a function of time:
Ira Lisetskai [31]
Let us first find the equation for the distance as a function of time in the form:

d=mx+b

m=(d2-d1)/(x2-x1)

m=(2160-2700)/(1-0)

m=-540

d=-540x+b, using point (0,2700) we can solve for b

2700=-540(0)+b

2700=b so

d(x)=-540x+2700

A)  The y-intercept is the constant of our distance function  (the distance when x, time, equals zero).  In this case d=2700 is the y-intercept.  This means that the initial distance from the destination was 2700 miles.

B) Since this is just a line and has a constant velocity, its average velocity will just be the constant velocity or slope.  But mathematically we could show this to be true.  Average velocity is change in distance divided by change in time.

v=(540-2160)/(4-1)

v=-1620/3

v=-540 mph

C)

The domain of a function is the possible x values in the proper context.  First time cannot be less than 0.  The other extreme for time is when the plane reaches its destination, when d=0, which is when:

-540x+2700=0

540x=2700

x=5.  

So the plane reaches its destination after 5 hours.  So the domain, the x values, for d=-540x+2700 is

x=[0,5]

Find the lateral surface area of the cylinder. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Colt1911 [192]
The lateral surface area of this cylender is the height times the base because it's like a rolled up rectangle. So you multiply 9 by 4 to get 36.

Oksana_A [137]

multiply with conjugate

\frac{1}{6 + 5i}  \times  \frac{6 - 5i}{6 - 5i}  =  \frac{6 - 5i}{36 + 25}  \\  =  \frac{6}{61}  -  \frac{5}{61} i
