If y varies jointly with x and z, what is the constant of proportionality when y=30, x=4, and z=5?

So, if y varies jointly with x and z, that implies a direct proportionality.

The equation will look something like this:

y = xzk

"k" is the constant of proportionality.

Now, when y = 30, x =4, and z = 5:

30 = (4)(5)k

Multiplied:

30 = 20k

divided 30 by 20:

3/2 = k

So your final answer is:

The constant of proportionality in the equation y = xzk when y = 30, x = 4, and z = 5, is 3/2 or 1.5.

Hope that helps!

Question 8: Find the equation of the straight line that:
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

y=4x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is the slope (also called the gradient) and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)

<u>1) Plug the gradient into the equation (b)</u>

y=mx+b

We're given that the gradient of the line is 4. Plug this into y=mx+b as m:

y=4x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (b)</u>

y=4x+b

Plug in the given point (1,10) as (x,y) and solve for b

10=4(1)+b\\10=4+b

Subtract 4 from both sides to isolate b

10-4=4+b-4\\6=b

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 6. Plug this back into y=4x+b as b:

y=4x+6

I hope this helps!

Explain the following terms: positive slope, negative slope, x-intercept, y-intercept &lt;&lt; Read Less
garik1379 [7]
Hello there!

A positive slope is represented in a linear equation by a positive coefficient behind the x term. A positive slope means that the graph is on an increasing interval as x approaches +∞. In a more simple way, a positive slope means that the graph is going up from left to right.

A negative slope is represented in a linear equation by a negative coefficient behind the x term. A negative slope means that the graph is on a decreasing interval as x approaches +∞. In a more simple way, a negative slope means that the graph is going down from left to right.

The x intercept(s) of a graph are where the graph touches the x-axis. These are also known as the zero(s) OR solution(s) of the function.

The y intercept(s) of a graph are where the graph touches the y-axis.

I hope this helps!
Best wishes:)
