Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
We have y ∝ x which is another way of saying y varies directly with x
We can rewrite the direct proportion relation y ∝ x as y = k.x where k is a constant - the constant of proportionality
So y = kx or x = y/k
using y and x values know, we can solve for k and then solve for any x given y
We have
y = 37.4 = k (17)
Therefore k = (37.4/17) = 2.2
To find x given y = 13.2, use the second equation
x = y/k = 13.2 / 2.2 = 6
4 is the answer
Divide by negative 5 on the right
5 is the in its value bc its on the y intercept meaning the starting point
![\sqrt[n]{x^m}=x^\frac{m}{n}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%5Em%7D%3Dx%5E%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bn%7D%20%20)
so![\frac{8}{ \sqrt[7]{x^{15}} }= \frac{8}{x^ \frac{15}{7} }=8x^{(\frac{-15}{7})}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B8%7D%7B%20%5Csqrt%5B7%5D%7Bx%5E%7B15%7D%7D%20%7D%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B8%7D%7Bx%5E%20%5Cfrac%7B15%7D%7B7%7D%20%7D%3D8x%5E%7B%28%5Cfrac%7B-15%7D%7B7%7D%29%7D%20%20)
