Answer:

a) 3

b) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The point P is(3,4)

which means that 3 is the point P's x- coordinate and 4 is it's y-coordinate

Because we use the axes as our reference point when plotting points,

the distance of P from x-axis and y-axis would be the point itself.

What is the direct linear variation equation for the relationship?

defon

$\bf \begin{array}{cccccclllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies directly to}&&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&{{ \textit{some value}}}&\cdot &\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
y&=&{{ K}}&\cdot&x
\\ \\
&& y={{ K }}x
\end{array}
\\ \quad \\

\begin{cases}
y=4\\
x=12
\end{cases}\implies y=Kx\implies 4=K\cdot 12$

solve for "K", to see what "K" is, or the "constant of variation",
once you found K, plug it back in y=Kx, and that's the equation

-⅔ (6x +9) = 18 I really need some help and understanding with this one. Thanks in advance!!

Sever21 [200]

-⅔ (6x + 9) = 18

Apply distributive property. Multipy -⅔ to 6x and 9.

-4x - 6 = 18

Add 6 to both sides so -4x can be alone.

-4x - 6 + 6 = 18 + 6

-4x = 24

To get x alone, divide both sides by -4.

-4/-4x = 24/-4

x = -6

x = -6 is your answer. I hope this helps! Let me know if you need more help or if I got something wrong.
