Which situation represents a proportional relationship?

Mathematics
1 answer:
murzikaleks [220]3 years ago

Answer:

option B) The cost of purchasing oranges for $1.50 per pound plus a shipping fee of $0.25 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

<u><em>Verify each case</em></u>

case A) The cost of purchasing a basket of oranges for $1.80 per pound plus $5.00 for the basket

Let

x ----> the pounds of oranges

y ---> the total cost

The linear equation is  equal to

y=1.80x+5

The line not passes through the origin (because the y-intercept is not zero)

therefore

This situation not represent a proportional relationship

case B) The cost of purchasing oranges for $1.50 per pound plus a shipping fee of $0.25 per pound

Let

x ----> the pounds of oranges

y ---> the total cost

The linear equation is  equal to

y=(1.50-0.25)x

y=(1.25)x

The line passes through the origin

therefore

This situation represent a proportional relationship

case C) The cost of purchasing oranges for $1.90 per box  with a delivery charge of $3.50

Let

x ----> the number of box

y ---> the total cost

The linear equation is  equal to

y=1.90x+3.50

The line not passes through the origin (because the y-intercept is not zero)

therefore

This situation not represent a proportional relationship

case D) The cost of purchasing oranges for $1.75 per pound with a coupon for $1.00 off the total cost

Let

x ----> the pounds of oranges

y ---> the total cost

The linear equation is  equal to

y=1.75x-1.00

The line not passes through the origin (because the y-intercept is not zero)

therefore

This situation not represent a proportional relationship

A right triangle has sides of lengths 18 ​, 24 ​, and 30 units. What is the area of the​ triangle? Draw the shape on a grid to h
Elden [556K]

Answer:216

Step-by-step explanation:The formula to find the area of a triangle is Length times Base divided by 2. The length of the triangle could be 18 or 24, but that doesn’t matter. The base could also be 18 or 24, but that also doesn’t matter, because the hypotenuse (the longest part of a right triangle, in this case being 30), is not a part of the formula. 18 times 24 is 432, and 432 divided by 2 is 216. So the area is 216

Graph an inequality on a number line: 15&gt;m
barxatty [35]

When the sign is ≤ or ≥ ("less/greater than <u>or equal to</u>"), the dot if filled in.

When the sign is < or >, the dot is not filled in/open circle.


15 > m

[15 is greater than m, or m is less than 15]

Since m is less than 15, the arrow is going to the left (the numbers to the left are less than 15)

Write the equation 2y-4x=5 In the form y=my+b
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

y = 2x + 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin, we start with the equation 2y - 4x = 5.

We will add 4x to both sides to move the x term to the right side of the equation, giving us:

2y - 4x + 4x = 4x + 5

2y = 4x + 5

Next, we should divide by 2 to cancel out the coefficient on the y-term and isolate it on the left side of the equation:

2y/2 = 4x/2 + 5/2

y = 2x + 5/2

Therefore, your answer is y = 2x + 5/2 or y = 2x + 2.5.

Hope this helps!

Which is equivalent to vg*<br> Og<br> O 78%<br> 12784<br> 8 4x
Otrada [13]

Answer:

  (c)  (12th root of 8)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  (a^b)^c=a^{bc}\\\\\sqrt[n]{a}=a^{1 \! /n}

In this case, we have ...

  (\sqrt[3]{8})^{x/4}=8^{1/3\cdot x/4}=8^{x/12}=\boxed{\left(\!\sqrt[12]{8}\right)^x}
