Answer: v = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since two points on the line are given, we use formula for slope.

Let (a,b) and (c,d) be two points on the line, the slope of the line is given by

m= $\frac{d-b}{c-a}$ .

Hence, using this we have

-4= $\frac{3-v}{3-6}$

Thus, we have

-4×(-3)=3-v⇒12=3-v⇒12-3=-v⇒v=-9

How to solve this showing all work ! Also explain why they aren’t polynomials if you can :)

Lesechka [4]

Polynomials are linear combinations of positive integer powers. For example,

$x^{100}+30x^2-\sqrt 2\,x+21$

is a polynomial, but

$-x^{-1}-4x^\pi+x^{3/2}$

is not.

(In case you're unfamiliar with the term, a linear combination of two quantities is the sum of scaled versions of those quantities, e.g. a general linear combination of $a$ and $b$ is $k_1a+k_2b$ , where $k_1,k_2$ are any numbers.)

$8x^2-18\sqrt x+5x-3$ is not a polynomial; the offending term is $-18\sqrt x$ , or $-18x^{1/2}$ .

Question

Gnoma [55]

Given parameters:

y varies directly as w;

This interpreted implies that as y increases, we increases by a certain factor or amount;

So, y ∝ w

y = kw

where k is the constant of proportionality

Now, given that y = 8 and w = 2

Input in the equation to solve for k;

8 = k x 2

Solving k gives, k = 4

Now to the second part,

if v is directly proportional to w;

v = k w

So v = 4w

The equation that relates v to w is v = 4w
