The proportion that could be used to solve for the variable is:
; p = 12 ⇒ b
Step-by-step explanation:
Direct proportion means that two (or more) quantities increase or decrease in the same ratio
- y = k x is the equation of direct proportion, where k is the constant of proportionality
is the another way to write a proportion
The number of pencils and the cost of them is increased together or decreased together
∴ The number of the pencils and their costs are in direct proportion
- By using the 2nd rule above
∵ The cost of the 7 pencils is $1.68
∵ The cost of p pencils is $2.88
∴
The proportion that could be used to solve for the variable is:
∵
- By using cross multiplication
∴ p × 1.68 = 7 × 2.88
∴ 1.68 p = 20.16
- Divide both sides by 1.68
∴ p = 12
The value of variable p is 12

Answer:
where is the grid?????................
<h3>
Answer: b = 17</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
The line must go through the point (5,2) which means x = 5 and y = 2 pair up together.
We'll plug these x and y values into the equation and solve for b.
y = -3x+b
2 = -3(5)+b
2 = -15+b
2+15 = b
17 = b
b = 17
The equation y = -3x+b turns into y = -3x+17
Answer:
3y = -2x -7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line;
y = 
x + 8
Unknown:
Equation of the line passing through (4, -5);
Solution:
To solve this problem;
the equation of a line is given as;
y = mx + c
where x and y are the coordinate
m is the slope
c is the intercept
To solve this problem,
The slope if the same as that of the new line since they are parallel;
Equation of the new line;
x = 4 and y = -5
-5 = x 4 + c
-5 = 
+ c
c = -5 + 
c = 
So, the equation of the line is;
y = x - 
or ;
3y = -2x -7
