We have points (-3, 4), (-1, 2), (4, -3) and (6,-5)
Let's verify it's a line by calculating the slopes between successive points.
Slope is change in y over change in x.
(2 - 4)/(-1 - -3) = -2/2 = -1
(-3 - 2)/(4 - -1) = -5/5 = -1
(-5 - -3)/(6 - 4) = -2/2 =-1
Yup. We have a line of slope -1 through point (-1, 2)
y - 2 = -1(x - -1)
y = -x - 1 + 2
y = -x + 1
That's the linear equation for the table.
Answer: Linear equation: y = -x + 1 slope = -1
Y=3.6x is direct variation. The constant is 3.6
8y=2x is the same as y=0.25x. It is direct variation, and the constant is 0.25
1. Assuming "dinners made" is on the y-axis, DV is y=2x. The constant is 2
2. This is not direct variation, and therefore does not have a constant of variation
No
Given 3 sides of a triangle, the sum of any 2 sides must be greater than the third side.
Consider the 3 given sides 1, 7 and 11
7 + 11 = 18 > 1
1 + 11 = 12 > 7
1 + 7 < 11 ⇒ not valid
Hence these sides do not form a triangle
