Answer:

y=kx

subst y=10 and x=20 into the above

<em>1</em><em>0</em><em>=</em><em>k20</em>

<em>k</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>0</em>

<em>k</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em>

<em>therefore</em><em> </em><em>relationship</em><em>:</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>x</em>

<em>subst</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>into</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>relationship</em>

<em> </em><em>y</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>(</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>)</em>

<em>y</em><em>=</em><em>7</em><em>,</em><em>5</em>

Step by step explanation:

  • Step 1: when they say y varies directly with x they mean<em> y is proportional to x</em>
  • step 2: so y=kx where <em>k is the constant</em>
  • step 3: is to substitute <em>y=10</em> and <em>x=20</em> into the above equation y=kx
  • step 4: you will end up with <em>10=k20</em> then divide both sides by 20 so that <em>k becomes the subject of the formula </em>
  • step 5: your answer from the above will be <em>k=10/20 </em>so the relationship is <em>y is directly proportional to 1/2 x </em>what you did here is that you substituted k for 1/2 in the equation in step 3
  • step 6: is to finally substitute x=15 into the equation <em>y=1/2x</em> to finally get your answer <em>y</em><em>=</em><em>7</em><em>,</em><em>5</em><em>.</em>

PLEASE HELP!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST AND THANK YOU!!

Answer:

Option D (-4,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

Square TUVW with vertices T(-6,1), U(-1,0), V(-2,-5), and W(-7,-4

<u><em>The question is</em></u>

Find out the coordinates of U'

Part a) Reflection: in the y-axis

we know that

The rule of the reflection of a point across the y-axis is

(x,y) -----> (-x,y)

so

U(-1,0) -----> U'(1,0)

Part b) Translation (x,y) —> (x-5,y+7)

That means ---> the translation is 5 units at left and 7 units up

so

U'(1,0) -----> U''(1-5,0+7)

U'(1,0) -----> U''(-4,7)

therefore

Option D (-4,7)
