Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

(6, 2) and (1, -1)

To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(-1 - 2) / (1 - 6)

Simplify the parentheses.

= (-3) / (-5)

Simplify the fraction.

= -3/-5

= 3/5

This is your slope.

Hope this helps!

The cost of a package of ground beef (y) is directly proportional to its weight in ounces (x). A 14-ounce package costs $7. Writ

Sonja [21]

Answer:

$y = \dfrac{1}{2}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of direct variation is

y = kx

where k = constant of variation

We start with

y = kx

Since we are give one ordered pair, we use its coordinates for x and y, and we solve for k. We are told that when x = 14 ounces, y = $7.

7 = k * 14

k = 7/14

k = 1/2

Now that we know k = 1/2, we can write the direct variation equation:

$y = \dfrac{1}{2}x$
