Answer:

k = 48

For x = 6, y = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for inverse variation is

y = k/x

We are told that y = 24 when x = 2, so we plug in those two values in the general equation to find the value of k.

24 = k/2

k = 24 * 2 = 48

Now that we know k = 48, the equation for our case is

y = 48/x

Now we plug in x = 6 and find y.

y = 48/x

y = 48/6

y = 8

Each equation in a system of linear equations has the same slope. What are the possible solutions the system could have?

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

A. The system could have no solution or infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope, meaning that they cannot intersect. So, the system can either have no solution (no intersection), or infinite possible solutions (the same line).

17. A disposable camera costs $6.95. A party planner wants to buy 100 cameras for an

natima [27]

Answer:

$695

Step-by-step explanation:

So if each camera costs $6.95 snd he wants 100 you would multiply by 100. And that would be 6.95×100=695 and a good trick I've learnt is that you just move the numbers 1 column to the left for each zero so if it was 10 you'd move all the numbers 1 column to the left. It is abit hard to explain but you're answer is there just thought that'd help in future.

Which is the equation of a line that has a slope of -2/3 ans passes through the point (-3, -1)

kupik [55]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here m = - $\frac{2}{3}$ , hence
