Inverse variation is of the form y=k/x (direct variation is of the form y=kx)
We are given that x=2 when y=1 so using the inverse form y=k/x we can solve for the constant of variation...
1=k/2
k=2
so the equation is:
y=2/x now they want us to find y when x=-1 so
y=2/-1
y=-2
Answer:
hgcfkfc
Step-by-step explanation:
if you look at delta y over x, you'll notice it always equals 2
i.e (22-2)/10-0 = 20/10 = 2
or (14-2)/6-0 = 12/6 = 2
or even (22-8)/10-3 = 14/7 = 2
This means that m (slope) is 2.
Now as for b. b is the y intercept and that value occurs when x = 0. On the table, when x = 0 y = 2 so b = 2.
y = mx + b becomes
y = 2x + 2
It will take total 90 minutes to finish the book and 60 minutes to read the left 40 pages.
<h3>What is Ratio and Proportion ?</h3>
When two numbers can be written as p/q is called a Ratio , and when two ratios are equal they are said to be in proportion .
It is given that
Jeremy is reading a 60-page book.
The time taken to read 20 pages is 30 minutes
Then it can be written as 20:30 = 2:3
The rate of reading is same so To read the rest 40 pages is given by
40:x
40: x = 2:3
40*3/2 = x
x = 60 minutes
Therefore it will take total 90 minutes to finish the book and 60 minutes to read the left 40 pages.
