Adrianna can read 7 pages in 10 minutes. At this rate,how many pages can she read in 25 minutes
2 answers:
Answer: She can read 17 and a half page in 25 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume that the number of pages is directly proportional to the number of minutes taken to read them.
Given : Adrianna can read 7 pages in 10 minutes.
Rate of reading= (1)
Let x denotes the number of pages she read in 25 minutes.
Rate of reading = (2)
From (1) and (2) , we have
[in direct variation ration remains constant.]
Hence, She can read 17 and a half page in 25 minutes.

Answer:
- positive
- negative
Step-by-step explanation:
The thrust of the question is to make sure you understand that increasing the y-coordinate of a point will move the point upward, and decreasing it will move the point downward.
That is adding a positive value "k" to x^2 will move the point (x, x^2) to the point (x, x^2+k), which will be above the previous point by k units.
If k is subtracted, instead of added, then the point will be moved downward.

<em>Comment on the question</em>
The wording of the statement you're completing is a bit odd. If k is negative (-2, for example), this statement is saying the graph is translated down -2 units. It is not. It is translated down |-2| = 2 units. The direction of translation depends on the sign of k. The amount of translation depends on the magnitude of k.
If you thoroughly understand (x, y) coordinates and how they are plotted on a graph, it should be no mystery that changing the y-coordinate will change the vertical position of the graph.
