Which equation does not represent a direct variation?

Mathematics

tatuchka [14]3 years ago

Okay I think there has been a transcription issue here because it appears to me there are two answers. However I can spot where some brackets might be missing, bear with me on that.

A direct variation, a phrase I haven't heard before, sounds a lot like a direct proportion, something I am familiar with. A direct proportion satisfies two criteria:

The gradient of the function is constant s the independent variable (x) varies

The graph passes through the origin. That is to say when x = 0, y = 0.

Looking at these graphs, two can immediately be ruled out. Clearly A and D pass through the origin, and the gradient is constant because they are linear functions, so they are direct variations.

This leaves B and C. The graph of 1/x does not have a constant gradient, so any stretch of this graph (to y = k/x for some constant k) will similarly not be direct variation. Indeed there is a special name for this function, inverse proportion/variation. It appears both B and C are inverse proportion, however if I interpret B as y = (2/5)x instead, it is actually linear.

This leaves C as the odd one out.

I hope this helps you :)

It takes Gretchen 275 seconds to travel 5500 m in her car. What is her rate of speed in kilometers per hour
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

72km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert units to kilometers and hours.

275 seconds ÷ 60² ≈ 0.0764 hours

5500 meters ÷ 1000 = 5.5 km

Convert to kilometers/hour.

5.5km ÷ 0.0764hrs = 72km/h

vfiekz [6]
K = 32 Because if the answer is -8, after you divide, the answer has to be 4. 4 x 8 = 32 Then run it through to make sure. 32/8 equals 4 4-12 equals -8 Negative 8 or -8 I should the answer K = -8

8.3.5 Ana's monthly salary was $2000 in May. In June, she received a 20% raise. In July, she received a 20% pay cut. After the t
Harman [31]

Answer:

<u>After July, Ana's monthly salary was $1920</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

In May, Ana's monthly salary was $2000. During the next month, the salary increased by 20%, or (0.2)(2000)

2000+(0.2)(2000)=2000+400=2400

So, in June, Ana's monthly salary was $2400. During the next month, the salary decreased by 20%, or (0.2)(2000)

2400-(0.2)(2400)=2400-480=1920

Therefore, after the two changes, Ana's monthly salary was <u>$1920</u>

Need help plz <br> How do you do this?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

See description below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A distance -time graph of Maria's journey would look like a very steep line with slope 100 meters/1 minute until minute 4. At minute 4, Maria stopped to talk so it would like a horizontal flat line at that same distance for 3 minutes. This means at minute 7, Maria began walking again. From minute 7 on would be a positive line heading up with a slope of 75 meters/ 1 minute.
