Let's start by seeing what percentage is incorrect.
100-85=15
So, 15% is incorrect when answering 3 problems wrong. So let's divide 15 by 3.
15÷3=5
So, each problem is worth 5%, let's divide 100 by 5. The reason I'm doing thiis is to find how many questions are on the quiz, since if you got them all right, it's 100.
100÷5
20
There are 20 questions, let's make sure this is correct.
If she got 3 wrong, she got 17 right. Let's calculate her percentage and make sure it is the right one.
17÷20
.85×100
85%
So, there are 20 questions on the math quiz.

Alright, So Usually, The Highest Score You Can Get On A Quiz Or Homework Sheet Is 100%. Let’s Assume The Best Score You Can Get Is 100%.

100 (Highest Score) - 85 (Score) = 15

15 Divided By 3 = 5

So, Each Problem That You Got Correct You Earned 5 Points.

Then, You Can Do 100 Divided By 5, Which Equals 20.

There Was 3 Problems Incorrect, So 20 - 3 = 17.

Then, 17 Divided By 20 = 0.85, Which Equals 85%.

Therefore, There Were 20 Questions On The Quiz.

D) (-2,3)

-2 is the x-value
3 is the y-value

If you look at the graph on the x-axis (horizontal line) the numbers are increasing and decreasing by 1.
Since the point of intersection (big blue dot) is on the left side of 0, it falls directly at the -2 mark
As for the y-axis (vertical lines) the numbers also increase and decrease by 1. The point of intersection falls above 0 at +3

Therefore your point of intersection is (-2,3)

The variables x and y vary directly. Use the given values to write an equation that relates x and y: x = 4, y = -16
Gnesinka [82]

Vary Directly: y = k*x

Vary Inversely:  y = k/x

Because x and y vary directly, our equation will look like the first one.

y = k*x

With the inputted values:

-16 = k * 4

Now, to find k, isolate the variable

k = -16/4 = -4

Your final equation will then look like this:

y = -4 * x
