Which equation describes a relationship that is directly proportional?

Mathematics
1 answer:
mixer [17]2 years ago
3 0

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.

True or false: When a figure on a coordinate grid is translated down and to the right, the vertex with the largest y-coordinate
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

  • True

Step-by-step explanation:

Translation down and to the right doesn't change the dimensions of the original figure.

This will change coordinates of each vertex but the highest coordinates of the pre-image and image will correspond to each other.

{1, 2, 6, 24, 120, ...}
enyata [817]
This is a factorial sequence that can be modeled by An = n!. As you may see, the increasing numbers are factorials of 1,2,3,4, and 5. Factorial means multiplying backwards and is represented by !. For example, 1! is 1*1 =1. 2! is 2*1, 3! is 3*2*1, 4! is 4*3*2*1 etc.
