Answer:

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to interpret the question

y varies directly as x

y varies x

To equate it, we need to add a constant K

y = K/x

Using the information we are provided with

y = 9

x = 3/2

insert into

y = Kx

9 = K * 3/2

9 = 3K/ 2

3K = 9 *2

3k = 18

To get K, divide through by 3

3K/3 = 18/3

K = 6

Since we've gotten our K = 6

y = Kx

Using the new information

y = ?

x = 1

K = 6

y = 6* 1

y = 6

The new y = 6 , x =1

Answer:

We conclude that the rule for the table in terms of x and y is:

y = 3x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

The table indicates that there is constant change in the x and y values, meaning the table represents the linear function the graph of which would be a straight line.

We know the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Taking two points

(-2, -4)

(-1, -1)

Finding the slope between (-2, -4) and (-1, -1)

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-2,\:-4\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-1,\:-1\right)$

$m=\frac{-1-\left(-4\right)}{-1-\left(-2\right)}$

$m=3$

We know that the y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0 and finding the corresponding y-value.

Taking another point (0, 2) from the table.

It means at x = 0, y = 2.

Thus, the y-intercept b = 2

Using the slope-intercept form of the linear line function

y = mx+b

substituting m = 3 and b = 2

y = 3x+2

Therefore, we conclude that the rule for the table in terms of x and y is:

y = 3x+2

Does anyone know the answer?

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Part A: 9.75x > 195

Part B: x > 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Mark works for x hours. For each hour he works, 9.75 dollars are added to Mark's salary. Therefore, for 1 hour, he gets $9.75, for 2 hours, he gets $9.75 + $9.75 = $9.75 * 2 = $19.50, and for x hours, he gets $9.75 * x as his salary.

We want his salary to be more than $195, so we have $9.75 * x (his salary) > $195, which can be written as 9.75x > 195

divide both sides by 9.75 to solve for x

x > 20

Please help I’m lost it has to be 3 or 2 or more answers by the way and I will except answers from Expert, Ace, or Genius or any

deff fn [24]

The correct answer is only A, because you need the tenths place to be greater than the number on the left, and not just the hundredths place.

P.S. Even though I'm a beginner, I took Multi-Variable calculus in 12th grade.
P.P.S. STOP PUTTING ON RANDOM ANSWERS ON QUESTIONS JUST SO YOU CAN GET THE POINTS!!!!!!

Ahat [919]

Given:

A person leaves work and travels west for 15 miles.

They then turn left and travel south for 10 miles, to their home.

To find:

Distance between work place and home.

Solution:

The person travels west for 15 miles, then travel south for 10 miles.

It means, it forms a right angle triangle with legs 15 and 10.
