Loosely, "varies inversely" means that as one quantity increases, the other decreases. Specifically, if x and y vary inversely, then y = k/x where k is some constant (a particular number).

Another way to write that relationship is xy = k.  To find the value of k for this problem, you need a numbers for x and y that go together.

Suppose x = number of children and y = number of candies (it doesn't matter what order these go in as long as you keep track!).

"When 12 children are present, 140 pieces of candy are consumed."  So when x = 12, the value of y = 140.

xy = k
(12)(140) = k
1680 = k

Now, when x = 8 children,

8y = 1680
y = 210

A polygon has vertices whose coordinates are A(1, 4), B(4, -1), C(-1, -4), and D(-4, 1). Use the midpoint formula to determine w
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The diagonals of the polygon ABCD bisect each other

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vertices of the polygon are;

A(1, 4), B(4, -1), C(-1, -4), and D(-4, 1)

Given that the vertices of the polygon in clockwise order from the top left corner are ABCD, we have the diagonals as AC and DB

By the midpoint formula, we have;

(x_m , \ y_m) = \left (\dfrac{x_1 + x_2}{2} , \ \dfrac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right )

Where;

(x_m , \ y_m) = The midpoint coordinates

Therefore, the midpoint of diagonal AC = \left (\dfrac{1 + (-1)}{2} , \ \dfrac{4 + (-4)}{2} \right ) = (0, 0)

The midpoint  of diagonal DB = \left (\dfrac{(-4) +4}{2} , \ \dfrac{1 + (-1)}{2} \right ) = (0, 0)

Therefore, given that the coordinates of the location of the midpoint of the diagonals AC and DB is the same, the diagonals bisect each other

Each diagonal passes through the midpoint of the other diagonal.

Y= 1/3x-9
notka56 [123]

Answer:

y=3x+28

Step-by-step explanation:

so a line perpendicular to one with a slope of 1/3 would have a slope of 3/1 which is just 3

so your line would be y=3x+b

to find b you just plug in the coordinates of the point that you want it to pass through into x and y. Remember that points are written as (x,y)

10=3x-6+b

10=-18+b

28= b

the equation is y=3x+28

Find the value of the variables ​
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

x = 15

y = 12

z = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

For right angle x^2 + z^2 = (9 + 16)^2 => x^2 + z^2 = 625

then z^2 = y^2 + 16^2 => y^2 = z^2 - 256

and x^2 = y^2 + 9^2 => y^2 = x^2 - 81

so z^2 - 256 = x^2 - 81

z^2 = x^2 + 175

replace z^2 = x^2 + 175 into the first equation

x^2 + (x^2 + 175) = 625

2x^2 = 450

x^2 = 225

x = 15

If x = 15 => 15^2 + z^2 = 625 => z^2 = 400 => z = 20

y^2 = z^2 - 256 => y^2 = 400 - 256 = 144

then y = 12
