What is the unit rate of the proprrional relationship represented by the equation y=3x
NeX [460]

The unit rate of the proportional relationship y = 3x is 3

<h3>How to determine the unit rate?</h3>

The proportional relationship is given as:

y = 3x

Divide both sides by x

y/x = 3

For a proportional relationship y/x = k;

The unit rate is 3

This means that the unit rate of the proportional relationship y = 3x is 3

adult tickets to a play cost $22. tickets for children cost $15. tickets for a group of 11 people cost a total of $228. write an
Tom [10]

Adults = 9

Children = 2


Let x be the number of adults.

11-x is the number of children.


22x + 15(11-x) = 228

22x + 165 - 15x = 228

22x - 15x = 228 - 165

7x = 63

7x / 7 = 63 / 7

x = 9  number of adults.


11 - x = 11 - 9 = 2 number of children.


To check:


22x + 15(11-x) = 228

22(9) + 15(11-9) = 228

198 + 30 = 228

228 = 228

Which equation represents a line that is perpendicular to the line y= 1/4x - 1
kirill [66]
Y = 1/4x - 1....the slope here is 1/4....but for a perpendicular line we need a negative reciprocal slope...all that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. 1/4....flip it....4/1.....change the sign....-4/1 or just -4. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -4. The only one in ur answer choices with a slope of -4 is D.....so ur answer has to be D.
