Find the constant of proportionality k. Then write an equation for the relationship between x and y

ExtremeBDS [4]

Question:

Find the constant of proportionality k. Then write an equation for the relationship between x and y

$\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {2} & {4} & {6} & {8} \ \\ y & {10} & {20} & {30} & {40} \ \ \end{array}$

Answer:

(a) $k = 5$

(b) $y = 5x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {2} & {4} & {6} & {8} \ \\ y & {10} & {20} & {30} & {40} \ \ \end{array}$

Solving (a): The constant of proportionality:

Pick any two corresponding x and y values

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,10)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (6,30)$

The constant of proportionality k is:

$k = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$k = \frac{30-10}{6-2}$

$k = \frac{20}{4}$

$k = 5$

Solving (b): The equation

In (a), we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,10)$

k can also be expressed as:

$k = \frac{y- y_1}{x- x_1}$

Substitute values for x1, y1 and k

$5 = \frac{y- 10}{x- 2}$

Cross multiply:

$y - 10 = 5(x - 2)$

Open bracket

$y - 10 = 5x - 10$

Add 10 to both sides

$y - 10 +10= 5x - 10+10$

$y = 5x$

0.9 of Karen's Science score is equal to 0.75 of her Math score and 0.8 of her Chemistry score. Given that Karen scored 96 marks

DochEvi [55]

You have to formulate equations for this problem.

Let S = Science score

M = Math score

C = Chemistry score

To illustrate the given:

0.9S = 0.75M

0.9S = 0.8C

You are given that Karen’s Math score is 96 marks. You have to substitute the Math score to the first equation.

0.9S = 0.75(96)

0.9S = 72

S = 80

Therefore, Karen’s Science score is 80. Now, you have to substitute the Science score to the second equation.

0.9(80) = 0.8C

0.8C = 72

C = 90

So, Karen’s Chemistry score is 90.

Therefore, the total score of the 3 subjects is 266 (96 + 80 + 90).

Will give brainliest A ? B? C ?

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

A: 180° B: 360° C: 540°

Step-by-step explanation:

A: The measures of interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°. Since figure ABC is a triangle, the interior angles of figure ABC sum to 180°.

B: We can see the quadrilateral ACDE is a trapezoid. If you can see, the trapezoid can be split into two triangles if you connect points C and E. As U mentioned before, the measures of interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°. Since we know figure ACDE can be split into two triangles we have to do: 180x2 which is 360°.

C: Now that we know the Pentagon ABCDE can be split into 3 triangles(1 from figure ABC and 2 from figure ACDE), we have to multiply 180 by 3 because like I mentioned before, the measures of interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°. So, 180x3=540°.

Answer:

86°

Step-by-step explanation:

180° is the sum of all angles in a triangle

The two angles given are 68° and 26°

The equation is : 180° - 68° - 26° = x°

180° - 68° - 26° = 86°

x° = 86°
