Answer:

The slope is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation function will always go through the origin point (0, 0).

Therefore, we have the two points (0, 0) and (-2, -6).

We can use the slope formula to find the slope:

\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substitute and evaluate:

\displaystyle m=\frac{0-(-6)}{0-(-2)}=\frac{6}{2}=3

Therefore, the slope of the function is 3.

To graph, simply plot (0, 0) and (-2, -6) and draw a line connecting them. This is shown below.

Answer:

y = 2/3x - 3

Slope: 2/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: 2/3x

y- intercept: (0,-3)

once it goes down it'll be -2/-3x which will go to through (-2,-6) as soon as it goes down from the y-intercept.

equation: y = 2/3x - 3

Which is bigger, one fourth of 16 or one third of 24?
sesenic [268]
One third of 24 because 3 is a whole number smaller than 4 so the answer would be 3/24 not 4/16.

A bucket has 16 inches of water in it but there is a hole in the bottom. Use interval notation to write the domain and range of
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: range:  {0in, 16in}

               domain {0min, 12.8 min}

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a function:

f(x) = y.

The range is the set of possible values of y and the domain is the set of all the possible values of x.

In this case, our function is:

H(x) = 16 - 1.25*x

which is a linear equation, and we know that the linear equations are defined (for range and domain) in the set of all the real numbers, but this is a physical situation, so we must see at the real problem.

The bucket can not have more water than the initial amount, 16 inches, so this is the maximum in the range.

The minimum height of water that we can find in the bucket is 0 inches (so the bucket is empty) then this is the minimum of the range.

Then we can write the range as:

R: 0in ≤ y ≤ 16in. = {0in, 16in}

Now we can find the extremes of the domain by using the extremes of the range:

y = 16 = 16 - 1.25*x

       0 = -1.25*x

then we have x = 0min, this will be the minimum of the domain.

Now using the minimum of the range y = 0 we have:

y  = 0 = 16 - 1.25*x

      1.25*x = 16

            x  = 16/1.25 = 12.8 mins

This is the maximum time in the domain (because after this time, there is no water in the bucket)

Then the domain is:

D: 0min ≤ x ≤ 12.8 min
