Answer:

y = 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y is directly proportional to x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition y = 35 when x = 140, then

35 = 140k ( divide both sides by 140 )

0.25 = k

y = 0.25x ← equation of proportion

When x = 70, then

y = 0.25 × 70 = 17.5

Mr. Gengel wants to make a shelf with boards that are 1 1/3 feet long. If he has an 18 foot board, how many pieces can he cut fr

In-s [12.5K]

Let us assume that the number of pieces that can be cut = x
Length of each shelf board = 1 1/3 feet
= 4/3 feet
Total length of board available for making shelf = 18 foot
Then
4x/3 = 18
4x = 18 * 3
4x = 54
x = 54/4
= 13 2/4
As we can see from the above deduction, 13 shelf's can be made from the 18 foot board. There will be about 2/4th of the board remaining, but that 2/4th part will be wasted as it cannot create a complete board.I hope the answer is to your satisfaction and the explanation is clear to you.

What is the slope-intercept form of the line with the point (0, 3) and a slope = -2?

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

2nd choice OC.y=-2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. With these two numbers both given to us, we can just plug them in and get y=-2x+3.

Hope this helps you
