Given:

The variable y varies directly as x and inversely as z. When x = 4 and z= 14, y=2.

To find:

The combined variation equation and find y when x = 6 and z= 3.

Solution:

The variable y varies directly as x and inversely as z.

y\propto \dfrac{x}{z}

y=k\dfrac{x}{z}           ...(i)

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

Putting x=4, y=2 and z=14, we get

2=k\dfrac{4}{14}

2=k\dfrac{2}{7}

2\times \dfrac{7}{2}=k\dfrac{2}{7}\times \dfrac{7}{2}

7=k

Putting k=7 in (i), we get

y=7\dfrac{x}{z}

Putting x=6 and z=3, we get

y=7\times \dfrac{6}{3}

y=7\times 2

y=14

Therefore, the required equation is y=7\dfrac{x}{z} and the value of y is 14 when x = 6 and z= 3.

Answer:

y = -3x  

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Slope

y = mx + b

Choose points (-3, 9) and (3, -9)

m = (-9 - 9)/(3 – (-3))

m = -18/(3 + 3)

m = -18/6

m = -3

=====

(b) y-intercept

y = mx +b

Choose point (0,0).

0 = 0 + b

b = 0

=====

(c) Equation of line

y = mx + b

y = -3x

Artemon [7]

Answer:

I don't know what you mean with a b c d and e, but x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

x=7 because first you subtract 6 from each side, because you wan't to have just x, so you will get 3x=21, and then you just divide both sides by3 to get x=7
