A) The constant of proportionality in this proportional relationship is k = \frac{y}{x}

B) The equation to represent this proportional relationship is y = 0.2x

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that,

The amount Naomi pays each month for international text messages is proportional to the number of international texts she sends that month

Therefore,

This is a direct variation proportion

\text{ amount Naomi pays each month } \propto \text{ number of international texts she sends that month}

Let "y" be the amount that Naomi pays each month

Let "x" be the number of international texts she sends that month

Therefore,

y \propto x

y = kx -------- eqn 1

Where, "k" is the constant of proportionality

Thus the constant of proportionality in this proportional relationship is:

k = \frac{y}{x}

<em><u>Last month, she paid $3.20 for 16 international texts</u></em>

Therefore,

y = 3.20

x = 16

Thus from eqn 1,

3.20 = k \times 16\\\\k = \frac{3.20}{16}\\\\k = 0.2

Substitute k = 0.2 in eqn 1

y = 0.2x

The equation would then be y = 0.2x

Answer:

2 or -2

Step-by-step explanation:

If x² - 8x = -12

Step 1

We find x by solving

x² - 8x = -12

We equate to zero

x² - 8x + 12 = 0

We factorise

x² - 6x - 2x + 12 = 0

x(x - 6) -2(x - 6) = 0

(x - 6) (x - 2) = 0

x - 6 = 0, x = 6

x - 2 = 0, x = 2

x = 6 or 2

Step 2

What is x - 4?

When x = 6

= 6 - 4 = 2

When x = 2

= 2 - 4 = -2

Therefore, x - 4 = 2 or -2

worty [1.4K]

Take  2 points: (0, 70) (30, 80)

SLOPE FORMULA: y2 -y1 / x2 - x1

y2 - y1: 80 - 70 = 10

x2 - x1: 30-0 = 30

10 / 30

simplify: 1/3

This is a PROPER FRACTION
