Answer:

k = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Substitute the point (2,-1) into the given equation 5x+ky=12. The first number is 2, the x-value. The second number is -1, the y-value.

5x + ky = 12

5(2) + k(-1) = 12

2. Simplify

5(2) + k(-1) = 12

10 + (-k) = 12

10 - k = 12

2. Isolate k

10 - k = 12

-k = 12-10

-k = 2   <= here multiply both sides by (-1)

k = -2

What is the value of x/3y , when x = 18 and y = 3?
tekilochka [14]

So when you work with variables (x, y or any other letter), when they're beside a number it usually means to multiply.

So 3y can also be written as 3(3). So 3 multiplied by 3 is equal to 9

So now our problem looks like this,

x/9.

Since we already know what x is equal to, our problem will look like this

18/9.

So now all we have to do is divide.

18 divided by 9 is 2

So therefore, your answer is 2.


I hope this helps :)
