Hey there!

The difference is that y = kx means the "y directly varies with x", which means that y/x = k. Also, the line of the graph passes directly through the origin. Or, in other words, there is no y - intercept other than (0, 0)

y = mx could have a y - intercept not at the origin. If you have an equation in slope - intercept form, such as y = 5x + 3, than "y" does not directly vary with "x", because you can't get "m" by doing y/x, because first you have to subtract 3. In order to actually find "m", you would have to do (y - 3) / x = m (or, in this case, 5).

Hope this helps! Good luck and have a great day!

We can compare y = kx to the slope-intercept form of a line, y = mx + b.

We can see that y = kx is a linear equation with slope k and y-intercept 0.

The sum of 1/11 and 1/15 is closest to 0 1 or 2

vova2212 [387]

It is closer 1/11 is closer to 2 and 01 because it's smaller , 1/15 is also close but not as close

What is the distance from Cto D?

IRINA_888 [86]

Given:

The two points C(2,-1) and D(5,3) on a coordinate plane.

To find:

The distance from C to D.

Solution:

The distance between two points is defined by the distance formula.

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

The two points are C(2,-1) and D(5,3). Using the distance formula, we get

$CD=\sqrt{(5-2)^2+(3-(-1))^2}$

$CD=\sqrt{(3)^2+(3+1)^2}$

$CD=\sqrt{(3)^2+4^2}$

On further simplification, we get

$CD=\sqrt{9+16}$

$CD=\sqrt{25}$

$CD=5$

The distance from point C to D is 5 units. Therefore, the correct option is A.
