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

Help with number 22 plsssss
mario62 [17]

Answer:

192.972 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you have to add up all of the speeds and divide by how many values there are.

So if all of them are added together, it equals 771.888. Then, you divide this number by 4 to find the average. In this case, the average is 192.972mi/h.

What is the value of 2 3/4 ➗ 3/4​
Ivan

Answer:

3 2/3 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 2 3/

4

to a improper fraction: 2 3/4 = 2 3/

4

= 2 · 4 + 3/

4

= 8 + 3/

4

= 11/

4

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 4. Whole number 2 equally 2 * 4/

4

= 8/

4

b) Add the answer from previous step 8 to the numerator 3. New numerator is 8 + 3 = 11

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 11) over the denominator 4.

Two and three quarters is eleven quarters

Divide: 11/

4

: 3/

4

= 11/

4

· 4/

3

= 11 · 4/

4 · 3

= 44/

12

= 4 · 11 /

4 · 3

= 11/

3

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 3/

4

is 4/

3

) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. In the next intermediate step , cancel by a common factor of 4 gives 11/

3

.

so you simplify to get 3 2/3

Are the following equations equivalent why or why not Branilist for people who explain
wariber [46]

Answer:

Yes, they are equivilant

Step-by-step explanation:

5(3m+2p)-4m = 13p+11m-3p

Distribute 5: 15m+10p-4m = 13p+11m-3p

Combine like terms: 15m+(-4m) = 11m ; 13p+(-3p) = 10p

11m+10p = 11m+10p
