SOLUTION
If the table represents an inverse variation, it means that y is inversely proportional to x, written as

Removing the proportionality sign and introducing a constant k, we have

In the first column, we have x = -4 and y = 3.5. Substituting these values for x and y, we have

So, if it's an inverse variation, the relationship would be

In the second column, x = -2 and y = 7.
Now lets substitute the value of x for -2. If we get y to be 7, then the relationship is an inverse variation
We have

Since we got y = 7, the relationship is therefore an inverse variation.
The constant k = -14
The equation for the inverse variation is
Let no. of pens be x.
Pens : x
Pencils: x+8
Total: 2x+8
Student takes 1 pen and 5 pencils.
Remainder: 2x+8 - 5 -1 = 2x+2
2x+2 = 26
2x= 24
x = 12 (original no. of pens)
x+ 8 = 20 (original no of pencils)
There are 12 pens at first and 20 pencils.
After 1 pen is taken, 11 pens are left.
After 5 pencils are taken, 20-5=15 pencils are left.
Answer:
the slope is 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
and if you want the y intercept it's 4
Answer:
x=4.956 im pretty sure
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: for -10 + 4 the answer is -6
for -7 - 11 the answer is -18
Step-by-step explanation:
For -10+4 all you do is start at -10 and go up 4 to -6 (-9, -8, -7, -6)
and for -7 - 11 you start at 7 and just go down (but the numbers get bigger) to -18 (-8, -9, -10, -11, -12, -13, -14, -15, -16, -17, -18)
