Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If two variables are directly proportional, it means that an increase in the value of one variable would cause a corresponding increase in the other variable. Also, a decrease in the value of one variable would cause a corresponding decrease in the other variable.

Given that x varies directly with y, if we introduce a constant of proportionality, k, the expression becomes

x = ky

If x = - 4 when y = 6, then

- 4 = 6k

k = - 4/6 = - 2/3

Therefore, the equation that relates x and y is

x = -2y/3

What is the area of this triangle?

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

ANSWER

56.1 square inches.

EXPLANATION

The area of this triangle can be calculated using the formula,

$Area = \frac{1}{2} ab \sin( C)$

where a=8in.

b=14.2 in.

and C=99° is the included angle.

We plug in these values to obtain,

$Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 14.2 \sin( 99 \degree)$

$Area = 56.1007$

We round to the nearest tenth to get,

56.1 sq. inch

Morgan is walking her dog on an 8-meter-long leash. She is currently 500 meters from her house, so the maximum and minimum dista

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Max: 500

Min: 492

Step-by-step explanation:

Her dog is on an 8 meter leash but it doesn't necessarily take up the whole leash. The most is could be closer to her house than Morgan is 8 meters, the least is 0.

Most: 500-0=500

Min: 500-8=492

4x-2/6 = 5/3<br>anyone got a clue ?

Novosadov [1.4K]

$\frac{4x - 2}{6} = \frac{5}{3} \\ \\ 3(4x - 2) = 6 \times 5 \\ 12x - 6 = 30 \\ 12x = 30 + 6 \\ 12x = 36 \\ x = \frac{36}{12} \\ \\ x = 3$
