Slope: rise over run, for any straight line. Example: y=mx + b

Constant of proportionality: a constant by which you multiply your independent variable (x) to get a specific value of the dependent variable (y). Example: y=kx.

The main difference here is that y=mx+b may or may not pass through the origin, whereas y=kx always passes through the origin.

Both k and m are "slopes," with k pertaining to direct variation y=kx, and m pertaining to slope of a line which may or may not pass through the origin.

In this limited sense, both k and x are slopes. k could be the slope of a straight line passing thru the origin, same as m, but m could not be the constant of proportionality if the line in question does not pass through the origin.

$\bf \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2} \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ c=\sqrt{4^2+7^2}\implies c=\sqrt{65}$

zubka84 [21]

Answer: Charity is 36 years old today.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Present age of daughter.

Age of Charity = 4x

Age of her husband = 4x+6

After 10 years,

Age of daughter = x+10

Age of Charity = 4x+10

Age of her husband = 4x+6+10=4x+16

As per given,

$x+10+4x+10+4x+16=117$

$9x+36=117\\\\ 9x=117-36\\\\ 9x=81\\\\ x=9$

Present age of Charity = 4(9)=36 years

Hence, Charity is 36 years old today.
