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.

Answer:

  AB = 10

  BC ≈ 11.40

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is useful for finding distances between points.

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  AB = √((18 -10)² +(4 -10)²) = √(8² +(-6)²) = √100

  AB = 10

__

  BC = √((25 -18)² +(-5-4)²) = √(7² +(-9)²) = √130

  BC ≈ 11.40

A florist needs several pieces of ribbon that are 5 and 1/2 inches long if she begins with a piece of ribbon that is 264 inches
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

  48

Step-by-step explanation:

(264 in)/(5.5 in/piece) = (264/5.5) pieces = 48 pieces

_____

Division is the usual shortcut for repeated subtraction. You could subtract 5.5 from 264 until you get to zero. You would have to do 48 subtractions. It is easier to divide 264 by 5.5 to see how many times it goes.
