Answer:
r = 1/9
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, solve the equation for r:
y = rx
y/x = r . . . . . . . divide by x
__
Since r is a constant, it will be the same for any corresponding pairs of x and y. It is convenient to choose both x and y as integers, as in the third table entry.
r = y/x = 5/45
r = 1/9 . . . . . . . . . reduced fraction
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
It is not a bad idea to check to see that this works with other values of x and y. For the first line of the table, we have x = 11:
y = rx = (1/9)(11) = 11/9 = 1 2/9 . . . . matches the table value
Answer:
x = 3; y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 5
y = 2x - 4
<em>Isolate the y in the first equation</em>
y = 5 - x
y = 2x - 4
<em>Substitute the values</em>
5 - x = 2x - 4
<em>Isolate the Variable</em>
9 = 3x
<em>Simplify</em>
3 = x
<em>Plug that into the first equation</em>
3 + y = 5
<em>Subtract 3 from both sides</em>
y = 2
Answer:
the one where it passes -2
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 > -3
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
It would just be -12+9=-3.
