Answer: y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1) plug in 3 for y and 9 for x in the direct variation formula, which is y = kx

3 = k(9)

Step 2) Solve for k

3 = k(9) (Divide by 9 on both sides)

3/9 = k (Now simplify 3/9)

1/3 = k. So k = 1/3

*just FYI: “k” is the constant of variation.

Step 3) use the equation y = kx and plug in 1/3 for k

y = 1/3x

Step 4) using the equation y = 1/3x, plug in 21 for x.

y = 1/3(21) (1/3*21 is the same as 21/3)

y = 21/3 (21/3 = 7)

y = 7. So that’s you’re answer! When x=21, y=7 because 7 is 1/3 of 21!

Hope this helps! My best wishes to you as you go through school!

Given: m∠1 = 140°, find m∠6.<br> A) 40° <br> B) 50° <br> C) 90° <br> D) 140°
laila [671]

Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

When two parallel lines are crossed by another line the angle of 1 will be equal to 4, 5, and 8. The angle 2 will be equal to 3, 6, and 7. Since a straight line has a degree of 180, the subtracted degree of 180-140=40 which would mean 2=40 which 2=6 so 6=40.
