Which of the points A(−6, 2), B(0, 0), C(4, −2), D(−12, 6), E(−10, 10) belong to the graph of direct variation y=− 1 2 x?
1 answer:
ANSWER
B(0, 0),
EXPLANATION
The given points are A(−6, 2), B(0, 0), C(4, −2), D(−12, 6), E(−10, 10).
The equation of the direction variation is
The point that belongs the graph of the direct variation must satisfy the variation equation.
Note that the graph of direct variation equation passes through the origin therefore the point (0,0) satisfies it.
0=-12(0)
0=0
This is true
The other points do not satisfy this variation equation, hence they do not lie on its graph

Given:
Total number of marbles in the bag = 150
There are 21 blue marbles for every 4 white marbles.
To find:
The number of blue marbles in the bag.
Solution:
Since, there are 21 blue marbles for every 4 white marbles, therefore the ratio of blue marble to white marbles is 21:4.
Let the number of blue marbles be 21x and white marbles be 4x.
Total number of marbles in the bag = 150
Divide both sides by 25.
Now,
Therefore, the number of blue marbles is 126.
