For direct variation y varies directly with x, then we use equation y = kx

Where k is the constant of proportionality

Given: Y equals 2 when X equals 3

We plug in 3 for x  and 2 for y and solve for k

y = kx

2 = k(3)

Divide both sides by 3

\frac{2}{3} =k

Now we plug in 2/3 for k  

y=\frac{2}{3}x

Given x=-0.5  and find out y

y=\frac{2}{3}(-0.5)

y=-0.33

the value of y is -0.33 when x=-0.5

Suppose you walk down a school hallway at a rate of 5 ft/s, and you reach your destination in 20 seconds. How do you write a fun
8090 [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write a equation.

5 ft = 20 seconds

(five feet is reachable in 20 seconds)

Divide both sides by 5.

5/5=1

20/5=4

1 ft = 4 seconds

Let's say the destination is d and f is foot.

d = 4f

Ben jogged 4 and 1/2 miles in 1 and 1/4 hours at a constant rate. How far did Ben jog in one hour? *
Mrac [35]

let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then proceed.

\stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{4}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\begin{array}{ccll} miles&hours\\ \cline{1-2} \frac{9}{2}&\frac{5}{4}\\[1em] x&1 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{9}{2}~~}{x}=\cfrac{~~ \frac{5}{4}~~}{1}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{9}{2}~~}{\frac{x}{1}}=\cfrac{5}{4}\implies \cfrac{9}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{5}{4} \\\\\\ \cfrac{9}{2x}=\cfrac{5}{4}\implies 36=10x\implies \cfrac{36}{10}=x\implies \cfrac{18}{5}=x\implies 3\frac{3}{5}=x
