Question:

Find the constant of proportionality k. Then write an equation for the relationship between x and y

\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {2} & {4} & {6} & {8} \ \\ y & {10} & {20} & {30} & {40} \ \ \end{array}

Answer:

(a) k = 5

(b) y = 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {2} & {4} & {6} & {8} \ \\ y & {10} & {20} & {30} & {40} \ \ \end{array}

Solving (a): The constant of proportionality:

Pick any two corresponding x and y values

(x_1,y_1) = (2,10)

(x_2,y_2) = (6,30)

The constant of proportionality k is:

k = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

k = \frac{30-10}{6-2}

k = \frac{20}{4}

k = 5

Solving (b): The equation

In (a), we have:

(x_1,y_1) = (2,10)

k can also be expressed as:

k = \frac{y- y_1}{x- x_1}

Substitute values for x1, y1 and k

5 = \frac{y- 10}{x- 2}

Cross multiply:

y - 10 = 5(x - 2)

Open bracket

y - 10 = 5x - 10

Add 10 to both sides

y - 10 +10= 5x - 10+10

y = 5x

What is the distance between the point (−10, −2)(−10, −2) and the point (−4, −2)(−4, −2) ?
Gnoma [55]
In this case:  x 1 = - 10,  y 1 = - 2;
x 2 = - 4 ,  y 2 = - 2
The distance between the points :
d =  \sqrt{(x 2 - x 1 ) ^{2} + ( y 2 - y 1 ) ^{2} } = \\  =\sqrt{(-4+10) ^{2} +(-2+2) ^{2} } = \\ = \sqrt{6 ^{2}+0 ^{2}  } = \sqrt{36}= 6
Answer: d = 6

(4,2);slope=3<br><br>help me out
ivolga24 [154]
We have a point and a slope, so let's use the point slope formula!

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)
where
x1=4
y1=2
and m=3

(y - 2) = 3(x - 4) \\ y - 2 = 3x - 12 \\ y = 3x - 10
