A direct variation function contains the points (–9, –3) and (–12, –4). Which equation represents the function?
Natasha_Volkova [10]
First, find the slope between the two points. 
Slope = y2-y1 / x2-x1
-4+3/ -12+9
-1/-3
1/3 is the slope of this equation. 
You do not have to go any further to find b or the y-intercept because it appears that b or the y-intercept is 0 in this case. 
y= 1/3x or in other words y= x/3

<h3>Answer:  7.4 hours</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

Add up the percentage values:

25+20+6+6+6 = 63

This means 63% of the trip was driven by anyone but Dan. That must mean 100-63 = 37% of the trip is how much Dan drove.

Apply this percentage to the 20 hour duration

37% of 20 = 0.37*20 = 7.4 hours represents how long Dan drove.

extra notes:

  • 7.4 hours = 7 hours, 24 minutes because 0.4 hours = 0.4*60 = 24 minutes
  • 7.4 hours = 7 hrs + 24 min = 7*60+24 = 444 minutes

Find the value of x and y
bagirrra123 [75]
According to google, the red marks mean those two lines are the same length.  If that's the case, we know that x is the angle in both corners of the lower triangle.  We also know that because the angle of a straight line is 180, that the top angle of the bottom triangle is 140, because it's divided into two parts, one of which is 40.  That leaves 140 for the rest.  Now we know that there are 180 degrees in a triangle so x=(180-140)/2 = x=20degrees.
The right angle in the left corner is 90 degrees.  It is divided in two parts, the lower one of which we just found to be 20.  So the other part must by 70deg.
So for the upper angle y, we have 180-70-40= y=70degrees
