Ratio of men : women = 3 : 5

-

<u>Find total parts:</u>

3 + 5 = 8

-

<u>Find 1 part:</u>

5 parts = 140

1 part = 140 ÷ 5 = 28

-

<u>Find 8 parts (total):</u>

8 parts = 28 x 8 = 224

-

Answer: There are 224 employees

Does the equation y= 4x +3 show a proportional relationship between x and​ y
maxonik [38]

<u>Answer</u>

yes it does.


<u>Explanation</u>

The equation of a straight line is in the form of Y = mX + c, where m is a constant (the gradient) and c is the y-intercept.

The equation above, y= 4x +3 is the equation of a straight line.

y ∝ x

Introducing the constant of proportionality now become y = 4x. When like this the a line is a straight line from the origin but when we add 3 in the equation we have. Y = 4X + 3.

The equation remains proportional. This time the line passes through the point (0,3).

Determine the equation of the line with slope 3/4 passing through the point 4,0
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

y = \frac{3}{4}x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If it has a slope of 3/4, then it will look like this:

y = \frac{3}{4}x + b

If it passes through (4, 0), than y = 0 when x = 4

y = \frac{3}{4}(4) + b

y = 3 + b

b = -3

Therefore, the equation is y = \frac{3}{4}x - 3.
