Does the table show a direct proportional relationship? If so, what is the constant of proportionality?

Answer:

C. Yes, 3.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a relationship of direct proportionality for every ordered pair of the table, then the constant of proportionality must the same for every ordered pair. The constant of proportionality (k) is described by the following expression:

k = \frac{y}{x} (1)

Where:

x - Input.

y - Output.

If we know that (x_{1}, y_{1}) = (13, 45.5), (x_{2}, y_{2}) = (14, 49) and (x_{3}, y_{3}) = (15, 52.5), then the constants of proportionalities of each ordered pair are, respectively:

k_{1} = \frac{y_{1}}{x_{1}}

k_{1} = \frac{45.5}{13}

k_{1} = \frac{7}{2}

k_{2} = \frac{y_2}{x_2}

k_{2} = \frac{49}{14}

k_{2} = \frac{7}{2}

k_{3} = \frac{y_{3}}{x_{3}}

k_{3} = \frac{52.5}{15}

k_{3} = \frac{7}{2}

Since k_{1} = k_{2} = k_{3}, the constant of proportionality is 3.5.

What is the distance in units between the points (8,-1) and (-2,-1) on a coordinate plane?
Sliva [168]
You can use the distance formula.
The distance formula says the distance between two given points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
= \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}

Your given points are (8, -1) and (-2, -1).
The distance will be
\sqrt{(-1+1)^2+(-2-8)^2}  \\ =  \sqrt{100}  \\ =10.

But you could have recognized that both points have the same y-coordinate of -1, which means change in distance is determined by change in x-coordinates only.
Change in x-coordinates is |-8 - 2| = 10. There is absolute value because distance cannot be negative.

I need help with this question please
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

210 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of jet = x

headwind: speed = x - 27

time taken = 1134.6/(x - 27)

tailwind: speed = x + 27

time taken = 1469.4/(x + 27)

same amount of time:

1134.6/(x - 27) = 1469.4/(x + 27)

Cross multiply,

1134.6(x + 27) = 1469.4(x - 27)

1134.6x + 30634.2 = 1469.4x - 39673.8

334.8x = 70308

x = 210 mph
