Write an equation of the direct variation that includes the given point (-8, -4)
Direct variation is y= kx for some constant k
Find k using the point (-8,-4)
y=kx
(-4)=k(-8) substitution
-4/-8=k(-8/-8) division property
1/2=k
equation of direct variation is y=1/2k
Answer:there are 14 5point problems and 15 2point problems on the test.
Step-by-step explanation:
x represents number of 5 point questions and y represents questions worth 2 points.
The total number of questions in the test is 29. It means that
x + y = 29
x = 29 - y
Mr. Martin’s math test is worth 100 points. It means that
5x + 2y = 100 - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 29 - y into equation 1, it becomes
5(29 - y) + 2y = 100
145 - 5y + 2y = 100
- 5y + 2y = 100 - 145
- 3y = - 45
y = - 45/-3
y = 15
x = 29 - y = 29 - 15
x = 14
2/5 + 1/2
4+5 / 10 • look for the LCD of 5 and 2
which is 10 then 5 goes 2
times into 10 the multiply by 2
= 4. Then 2 goes 5 times into
10 then multiply by 1 = 5.
Therefore the sum of 2/5 + 1/2 =9/10
This is something to memorize
y = r*sin(theta)
so if y = 2, then
2 = r*sin(theta)
Divide both sides by sin(theta) to get
r = 2/sin(theta)
r = 2csc(theta)
