Answer:

When y = 15, x = -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

"y varies directly with x" signifies the linear relationship y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

Substituting 6 for y and -2 for x into this equation yields the value of k:

6 = k(-2), or k = -6/2, or k = -3

Then the proportional relationship is y = -3x.

If y = 15, then we can write 15 = -3x, or x = -15/3, or x = -5.

When y = 15, x = -5.

Y=5

Ymorist [56]

15. = slope would be 7 and y-int would be -4
16. = slope would be -2/5 and y-int would be 0
17. = doesn’t have a y variable

slope intercept form is y=mx+b with the m being the slope and the b being the y-int. in some cases where the equation is not in this form you have to change it so it is in that form by using opposite operations

getting home from trick or treat celia and emma counted their candies. half of celias candies is equal to 2/3 of emmas candies.

blagie [28]

Candies with celias and emmas is 60 and 45 respectively.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Getting home from trick or treat celia and emma counted their candies. Half of celias candies is equal to 2/3 of emmas candies.

They had a total of 105 candies altogether.

We have to find how many candies did each of them have.

Let the number of candies with celias be n, then number of candies with emma will be 105 – n.

Now according to given condition.

$\begin{array}{l}{\frac{1}{2} \times \text { celias candies count }=\frac{2}{3} \times \text { emmas candies count }} \\\\ {\rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times n=\frac{2}{3} \times(105-n)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 3 \times n=2 \times 2 \times(105-n)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 3 \times n=2 \times 2 \times(105-n)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 3 n=4(105-n)} \\\\ {\quad \rightarrow 3 n=420-4 n} \\\\ {\rightarrow 3 n=420-4 n} \\\\ {\rightarrow 3 n+4 n=420} \\\\ {\rightarrow 7 n=7 \times 60} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=60}\end{array}$

Hence, candies with celias and emmas is 60 and 45 respectively.
