Answer:

Choice B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we have to find constant of variation.

y= kx eq(1)

Given y= -96 and x= 24

put above values in eq(1)

-96=k(24)

dividing above equation by 24

-96/24=24k/24

-4=k

so eq(1) becomes y=-4x

Secondly, we have to find value of x when y=-164

-164=-4x

dividing by -4 by above equation.

-164/(-4)=-4x/(-4)

41=x

so, k=-4 and x=41.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

30. You want to solve for k and use it with a different y-value.

... y = kx

... -96 = k·24

... -96/24 = k = -4

For y = -164, you have

... -164 = -4·x

... -164/-4 = x = 41

The coefficient of variation is -4, x is 41.

Line JK passes through points J(–4, –5) and K(–6, 3). If the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b

garri49 [273]

Answer:

b = - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate m using the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, 3)

m = $\frac{3+5}{-6+4}$ = $\frac{8}{-2}$ = - 4

y = - 4x + b ← is the partial equation

to find b substitute either of the 2 given points into the partial equation

using (- 4, - 5 ), then

- 5 = 16 + b ⇒ b = - 5 - 16 = - 21

Your realized income is 2,847.69/month. your fixed expenses are 36% of your monthly income. you decide to save 40% of your discr

Allushta [10]

If you would like to know how much do you save per month, you can calculate this using the following steps:

your expenses: 36% of 2,847.69 = 36% * 2,847.69 = 36/100 * 2,847.69 = 1,025.17
2,847.69 - 1,025.17 = 1,822.52

saving 40% of your discretionary money: 40% of 1,822.52 = 40% * 1,822.52 = 40/100 * 1,822.52 = 729.008 = 729.01

The correct result would be: You can save 729.01 per month.
