Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 3/2 boys/girls

if we call the expression as x there would be a total of 5x girls and boys

3x of this is boys

3x = 12 so x is 4 then 4×2 = 8 girls

A proportional relationship is used to illustrate linear equations.

The constant of proportionality is 3

From the table, we have the following points:

(x,y) = (2,6) (3,9)

The constant of proportionality is calculated using:

$\mathbf{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{m = \frac{9-6}{3-2}}$

Subtract

$\mathbf{m = \frac{3}{1}}$

Divide

$\mathbf{m = 3}$

Hence, the constant of proportionality is 3

What is the inverse of f(x)=3x+6 ?

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf \ \ f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x-6}{3} \ \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

hello,

we can write

$fof^{-1}(x)=x \ and \ fof^{-1}(x)=f(f^{-1}(x))=3f^{-1}(x)+6 \ so\\3f^{-1}(x)+6=x \ \ subtract \ 6\\3f^{-1}(x)=x-6 \ \ divide \ \ by \ \ 3\\ f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x-6}{3}$

hope this helps

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (−3,−1) and is perpendicular to the line x-2y=6?

gogolik [260]

Answer:

y = 2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

rearrange the equation to make y the sof

y = 1/2x - 3

to find gradient of perpendicular line

1/2 ÷ ( - 1 )

y = -2x + c , the replace the coordinates (-3,-1)

y = 2x + 5
