Y=kx is the equation for direct variation
Serhud [2]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The equation is b = -a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number b varies directly with the number a,

That is, we can write,

b ∝ a

⇒ b = ka

Where k is the constant of proportionality,

Given, if b = 2 then a = -2,

By substituting the value,

2 = k(-2)

⇒ k = -1

Hence, the equation that represents the direct variation between a and b is,

b = -a

Your grade before taking the final exam is 493pts out of 510 possible points. The final exam is worth 100 points. How many point
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

You need 75 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total number of points= 510 + 100= 610 (100%)

Actual number of points= 493

<u>First, we need to determine the number of points required to reach 93%:</u>

Points required= 610*0.93

Points required= 567.3 = 568

<u>Now, the points needed in the final exam:</u>

Difference of points= 568 - 493

Difference of points= 75 points

You need 75 points.
