Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 24 when x = - 15, then

24 = - 15k ( divide both sides by - 15 )

k = \frac{24}{-15} = - \frac{8}{5} = - 1.6 , thus

y = - 1.6x ← equation of variation

When y = 16, then

16 = - 1.6x ( divide both sides by - 1.6 )

x = - 10 → c

Can someone please explain how the answer is D
Kitty [74]

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the length of ST is calculated using pythagorean theorem:

{c}^{2}  =  {a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}

Where the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides of a right triangle. In this case, the hypotenuse is ST and the other two sides are distances between S and T over the X and Y axis. Those are easily calculated:

x =  |sx - tx|  \\ y =  |sy - ty|

Where x is the distance between S and T over X axis and Y distance over Y axis, sx and tx are X coordinates of S and T, sy and ty are Y coordinates of S and T.

Using that formula, you get that y = 17 and x = 8.

Back to the pythagorean theorem, if we put those number in the formula of the pythagorean theorem, we get something like this:

{c}^{2}  =  {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2} \\  {c}^{2}  =  {8}^{2}  +  {17}^{2} = 64 + 289  \\  {c}^{2}  = 353 \\ c =  \sqrt{353}

And finally, the correct answer is in fact 353.

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression.
Bumek [7]

Given:

The expression is

(1-2g+4h)\cdot 5

To find:

The equivalent expression.

Solution:

Distributive property of multiplication over addition is

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Where, a, b and c are real numbers.

We have,

(1-2g+4h)\cdot 5

Using distributive property, we get

=(1)\cdot 5+(-2g)\cdot 5+(4h)\cdot 5

=5-10g+20h

Therefore, the expression 5-10g+20h is equivalent to the given expression.
