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 regular hexagon shown below has a perimeter of 30 and center C. What is the perimeter of triangle ABC.

Softa [21]

Answer:

Option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a regular hexagon = 30 units

Length of one side = $\frac{30}{6}$

= 5 units

Interior angle of hexagon = $\frac{(n-2)\times 180}{n}$

= $\frac{(6-2)\times 180}{6}$

= 120°

BC is an bisector of the angle measuring 120°.

m∠ABC = 60°

Similarly, m∠BCA ≅ ∠CAB ≅ 60°

Therefore, ΔABC is an equilateral triangle.

By the property of equilateral triangle, all sides of the triangle will be equal in measure.

AB ≅ BC ≅ AC ≅ 5 units

Perimeter of triangle ABC = AB + BC + AC

= 5 + 5 + 5

= 15 units

Option (3) will be the answer.
