Answer:

Proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that given an equation $y=-9x$ . We are asked to determine whether the given equation is proportional or not.

We know that two proportional quantities are in form $y=kx$ , where k is constant of proportionality.

We can see that our given equation is in form $y=kx$ , where $k=-9$ .

Therefore, the given equation is directly proportional.

1.) The island shown has a population of 12,175 people. Find the population

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Population density = $148.22\ \text{people per square kilometer}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached figure shows the dimension of an island.

Population density is equal to total population per unit land area.

Firstly we will find the area of the triangle using Pythagoras theorem as follows :

$H^2=B^2+P^2$

H is Hypotenuse, B is base and P is perpendicular

$B=\sqrt{H^2-P^2} \\\\B=\sqrt{(18.5)^2-(11.1)^2} \\\\B=14.8\ km$

Area of triangle is given by :

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times P\\\\A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 14.8\times 11.1\\\\A=82.14\ km^2$

$\text{Population density}=\dfrac{\text{Total population}}{\text{land area}}\\\\=\dfrac{12175 }{82.14}\\\\=148.22\ \text{people per square kilometer}$

Hence, the population density is $148.22\ \text{people per square kilometer}$ .

What is the volume of a volleyball with a diameter of 8 inches

natita [175]

Hello there!

We are going to follow the volume of a sphere since a volleyball is a sphere. V=4/3πr^3 is the formula for finding the volume of a sphere. The only unknown value is r, or the radius. We find the radius by halving the diameter.

8/2 = 4, so we have a radius of 4 inches.

Place the value of 4 in for r - V = 4/3 x π x (4)^3

Now solve.

V = 4/3 x π x (4)^3

Start by squaring 4.

V = 4/3 x π x 64

Next, multiply 4/3 by 64. (<em>you can do it in any order since there are no parenthesis</em>)

V = π x 85.33

Lastly, multiply 85.33 by pi.

V = 268.08

So, your answer is approximately 268.08, since we used rounding it is not exact. I hope this was helpful and have a great rest of your day! :)

How to find out the slope

grin007 [14]

To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points .
