Which equation describes a relationship that is directly proportional?

Mathematics

mixer [17]2 years ago

Answer:

(C) y = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Directly proportional relation is one in which the value of x and y gets increases or decreased in same proportion.

example of such relation can be y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality which depicts by how much value of  y will change in response to change of x.

_______________________________________________

now in the option

A and B

y= 9 , y =1/5

value of y is constant and does not depend on other variable. it value will remain same.

for y = x+4

value of y increases with x but it does not increase proportionally.

let see an example for x =1 , y = 1+4 = 5

x =2 , y = 2+4 = 6

(1,5)  and (2,6) are not proportionally changing also this equation is not of form y = kx

thus, it is incorrect option.

_______________________________

(C) y = 3x

here equation is form y =kx .  in place of k there is 3

let see an example for x =1 , y = 3*1 = 3

x =2 , y = 3*2 = 6

(1,3)  and (2,6) are  proportionally changing (1/3 = 2/6) also this equation is  of form y = kx

thus, it is correct option.

A bag contains white marbles and yellow marbles, 54 in total. The number of white marbles is 6 less than 3 times the number of y
NNADVOKAT [17]
Let x be white marbles, y be yellow marbles
x+y=54…(1)
x=3y - 6 …(2)

put (2) into (1)
(3y - 6) + y = 54
4y = 60
y=15

put y=15 into (1)

x + 15=54
x=39

so y=15 x=39

What is the value of x?<br><br>enter your answer in the box<br><br>X__​
vfiekz [6]
<h3>Answer: x = 5</h3>

=====================

Work Shown:

Angle Bisector Theorem

9/(2x-1) = 15/3x

9*3x = 15(2x-1) ... cross multiply

27x = 30x-15

27-30x = 30x-15-30x ... subtract 30x from both sides

-3x = -15

-3x/(-3) = -15/(-3) .... divide both sides by -3

x = 5
