Answer:

a = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y = ax be a linear equation, where x is the input variable and y is the output variable, then "a" is the proportionality constant between x and y.

To find the proportionality constant of the given equation, we must take it to the form y = ax.

We have:

2x = 10y

We divide both sides of the equation by 10.

0.2x = y

y = 0.2x.

Then the constant of proportionality is:

a = 0.2

Fill the missing values to make the equations true.

taurus [48]

Logarithm properties:

$\displaystyle \log_a b+\log_a c=\log_a (b\cdot c)\\\\\log_ab-\log_a c=\log_a \left( \frac{b}{c} \right)\\\\\log_{a^p}b^q= \frac{q}{p} \log_a b$

According to this, we can get:

$\displaystyle a)\log_7 3+\log_7 8=\log_7 (3\cdot 8)=\log_724\\\\b) \log_89-\log_85=\log_8 \frac{9}{5}\\\\c)\log_325=2\log_35$

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation -2x^2 + 6x + 3 = 0?

mario62 [17]

For this, we will be using the quadratic formula, which is $x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , with a=x^2 coefficient, b=x coefficient, and c = constant. Our equation will look like this: $x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{6^2-4*(-2)*3}}{2*(-2)}$

Firstly, solve the multiplications and the exponents: $x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{36+24}}{-4}$

Next, do the addition: $x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{60}}{-4}$

Next, your equation will be split into two: $x=\frac{-6+\sqrt{60}}{-4},\frac{-6-\sqrt{60}}{-4}$ . Solve them separately, and your answer will be $x=-0.436,3.436$

What’s the equation when the line is (6,5) and slope is 2/3

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

y=2/3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

using the slope intercept formula, y=mx+b, where m is the slope, and b is the y intercept. So we get the equation y=2/3x+b, because the slope is given, then you use the given point and substitute it into the equation, 5=2/3(6)+b which you can solve and you will get 5=4+b, b =1, then you add 1 to your original equation to get your answer, y=2/3x+1
