ANSWER

The correct choice is B.

EXPLANATION

If 'a' varies directly as 'b' then we write the equation of variation,

a = kb

Where k is the constant of variation.

We have that a = 28 when b = 7.

This implies that,

28= 7k

k = 4

The equation now becomes

a = 4b

When we a=5, we have

5 = 4b

b =  \frac{5}{4}

The correct answer is B

Answer: Option B.

b=\frac{5}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

If a varies directly with b then when a increases b it also increases by a factor k.

Then we can write that

a = kb

We know that when a = 28 then b = 7. So

28 = k * 7

k=\frac{28}{7}

k=4

Therefore the equation of proportionality is:

a=4b

So when a=5  then:

5=4b\\\\b=\frac{5}{4}

Reflect the point (2, -4) over the y-axis. Question 1 options: (2, 4) (-2, -4) (-4, 2) (-2, 4) Question 2 will mark the brainlie
o-na [289]

Answer:

The coordinates of the image point will be (-2,-4).

Step-by-step explanation:

The reflection of the point (2,-4) over the y-axis is to be determined.

Now, as the reflecting mirror is the y-axis, then the y-coordinate of the reflecting point will not change.

So, the image point will have coordinates (h,-4).

Now, after the reflection over the y-axis, the x-coordinate of the image point will change the sign only compared to the original point.

Therefore, the coordinates of the image point will be (-2,-4). (Answer)

Solve for x. 2=4x-6​
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation as 4x - 6 = 2

Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation:

Add 6 to both sides of the equation.

4x = 2 + 6

Add 2 and 6.

4x = 8

Divide each term by 4 and simplify.

Divide each term in 4x = 8 by 4.

\frac{4x}{4} =\frac{8}{4}

Reduce the expression by cancelling the common factors.

x=\frac{8}{4}

Divide 8 by 4.

x = 2
