Answer:

  k = 2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Segments AB and AC are on the same line, so have the same slope. Using the slope formula, we have ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  (3 -7)/(8 -0) = (k -7)/(3k -0)

Multiplying by 6k gives ...

  -3k = 2(k -7)

  -5k = -14 . . . . . . subtract 2k

  k = 14/5 = 2.8 . . . . divide by -5

Answer:

k=14/5

Problem:

Three points have coordinates A (0 , 7) , B (8 , 3) and C (3k , k)

Find the value of the constant k for which C lies on the line that passes through A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line containing points (a,b) and (c,d) is found by computing (b-d)/(a-c). This is just the change in y divided by the change in x.

The slope of a line containing points (0,7) and (8,3) is (7-3)/(0-8)=4/-8=-1/2.

The slope of a line containing points (0,7) and (3k,k) and (8,3) is still -1/2 because it doesn't matter what two points on a line you use to calculate the slope. The slope will remain the same no matter the pair of points on the line you choose for it's calculation.

So lets pretend the question is now find the point (3k,k) such that a line with slope -1/2 goes through (3k,k) and (0,7).

We want to solve the equation:

(k-7)/(3k-0)=-1/2

Simplify denominator

(k-7)/(3k)=-1/2

Cross multiple

(k-7)(2)=(-1)(3k)

Distribute or multiply

2k-14=-3k

Subtract 2k on both sides

-14=-5k

Divide both sufes by -5

-14/-5=k

Simplifying fraction

14/5=k

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

k = 575

Step-by-step explanation:

let d be distance and h time.

Given d varies directly as h then the equation relating them is

d = kh ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition d = 2875, h = 5, then

2875 = 5k ( divide both sides by 5 )

k = 575

The equation that is represented by the graph below is y = e^x - 4.

<h3>How to illustrate the graph?</h3>

From the graph, it can be seen that the only exponential function n to hat intercept the function at equal to 3 is y = e^x - 4.

Let's equate y to 0.

y = e^x - 4.

e^x - 4 = 0

e^x = 4

In(e^x) = In(4)

x = 1.386

The x intercept is located at (1.386, 0).

In conclusion, the correct option is D.
