Answer:

The y-intercept is at y = 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

It will be between y = 14 and y = 7 because the corresponding x values are -2 and 1.

An increase of 3 units of x gives a decrease of 6 units of y fro the above values.

Then an increase of 1 ( 1 to 2) in x gives decrease in y of 2 (8 to 6). The other values show the same pattern.

So very unit increase in x, the y values change by -2.

So from x = -2 to 0 is +2 units for x and this will be -4 units for y so the y-intercept ( when x = 0) will be at y = 14-4 = 10

y-intercept is (0,10).

3(5b-1)=5 solve for b 4(3y-1)=20 solve for y

Gnom [1K]

3(5b-1)=5
Get rid of the brackets
15b-3=5
add 3 to both sides of the equation
15b=8
divide both sides of the equation by 15
b=0.53

4(3y-1)=20
12y-4=20
12y=24
y=0.5

The following graph shows a proportional relationship.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is thus 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the green line passes through (6, 6) and has a y-intercept of 0. Thus, the equation of the line is y = (6/6)x + 0, or y = x, or y = 1x.

The constant of proportionality is thus 1, which is also the slope of this line.

Maslowich

In kilometers, the approximate distance to the earth's horizon from a point h meters above the surface can be determined by evaluating the expression

$d= \sqrt{12h}$

We are given the height h of a person from surface of sea level to be 350 m and we are to find the the distance to horizon d. Using the value in above expression we get:

$d= \sqrt{12*350}=64.81$

Therefore, the approximate distance to the horizon for the person will be 64.81 km
