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.

A circle has a center at -4,-5 and a radius of sqrt6. what is the equation of the circle​
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if (h,k) is the center and r be radius of circle.

Then eq. of circle is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

reqd. eq. of circle is (x+4)²+(y+5)²=(√6)²

or (x+4)²+(y+5)²=6

Find the missing length the triangles are similar.
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing length is 13 because,

Lets say the top triangle is A and the bottom triangle is B.

Triangle A gives us the side GF, and Triangle B gives us the sides TU and ST. Since the triangles are similar(as stated in the problem), we can pair 2 sides GF(A) and TU(B) which is 11:22.(one way I usually figure which sides are similar is by first- matching the hypotenuse, then checking which of the remaining two is longer.. if that made any sense). You can see that their relationship is x2 or /2 (In another word, from A to B is multiplication- ex: 11 * 2 is 22, and from B to A is division- ex 22/2 is 11.) Since the missing number is the hypotenuse of triangle A and you know the Hypotenuse of triangle B all you have to do is divide side TS by 2 to get side SF. So the missing side is 13.

Answer: 13
