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.

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression 11 (x-5)
olga_2 [115]
The distributive property, in this case, is to multiply the number outside the parenthesis by the numbers and characters inside the parenthesis:


11 (x - 5)
11x - 55 → Simplified expression.



Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

Use the distributive property to expand the expression. −2(5a − 3b2) − 4b + 3 A) −10a + 6b2 − 4b + 3 B) −10a − 6b2 − 4b + 3 C) −
Nikolay [14]
The answer is:  [B]:  " -10a + 6b² − 4b + 3 " .
_____________________________________
Explanation:
____________________
Given:
____________________________
  -2(5a − 3b²) − 4b + 3 ;  
_________________________________
    "Use the distributive property [of multiplication] to expand the expression."
______________________________________________
Note the distributive property of multiplication:
______________________________________________
           a(b + c) = ab + ac ;
           a(b − c) = ab − ac ;
______________________________________________
So, we have:  " -2(5a − 3b²) − 4b + 3 "  ;
______________________________________________

Start  with:  " -2(5a − 3b²) " ; 
______________________________________________ 
 
   -2(5a − 3b²)  =  (-2*5a) − (-2*3b²)  =  (-10a) − (-6b²)
 
           =  -10a + 6b²
________________________________________________
        → Now, bring down the rest of the problem; 
________________________________________________
  -10a + 6b² − 4b + 3 ;  which is:  Answer choice:  [B].

They stopped for lunch at 12:25 pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

They started skyiing at 10:30 am.

They skied for 1 hour and 55 minutes.

1 hour and 55 minutes is 5 minutes less than 2 hours.

2 hours after 10:30 am is 12:30 pm.

Taking the 5 minutes, we have 12:25 pm
