Answer:

y = 14x

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the direct variation equation, y = kx

Plug in 7 as y and 0.5 as x, and solve for k:

y = kx

7 = k(0.5)

14 = k

Plug this into the equation:

y = kx

y = 14x

So, the equation of variation is y = 14x

last year the cost of a season ticket for a rugby club £370. This year the cost of a season ticket for the club has been increas

Elden [556K]

Answer:

$\frac{80}{370}$ OR $\frac{8}{37}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you find the difference between the new cost and the old cost:

450 - 370 = 80

So the increase was 80.

When you write it as a fraction you write the increase ( 80 ) over the starting cost ( 370 ).

Thus the answer becomes $\frac{80}{370}$

But you can always reduce it to its lowest terms thus:

$\frac{8}{37}$

A force of 60 N is used to stretch two springs that are initially the same length. Spring A has a spring constant of 4 N/m, and

goblinko [34]

Answer:

D:Spring A is 3 m longer than spring B because 15 – 12 = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you should remember the Hooke's Law in physics.

The Hooke's Law simply explains that the extension that occurs on a spring is directly proportional to the load applied on it.

The mathematical expression for this law is

$F=-kx$

where;

F= force applied on the spring

x = the extension on the spring

k= the spring constant which varies in spring.

The question will need you to calculate the extension on the springs A and B then compare the values obtained.

In spring A

Force, F=60N and spring constant ,k=4 N/m

To find the extension x apply the expression;

$F=-kx\\\\60=-4*x\\\\60=-4x\\\\\frac{60}{-4} =\frac{-4x}{-4} \\\\\\-15=x$

Here the spring extension is 15 m

In spring B

Force, F=60N and spring constant , k=5N/m

To find the extension x apply the same expression

$F=-kx\\\\60=-5*x\\\\60=-5x\\\\\\\frac{60}{-5} =\frac{-5x}{-5} \\\\\\-12=x$

Here the extension on the spring is 12 m

Compare

The extension on spring A is 3 m longer than that in spring B because when you subtract the value of spring B from that in spring A you get 3m

$=15m-12m=3m$

Which values of m and b will create a system of equations with no solution? choose 1 options.

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The graph of a linear equation is a straight line. The "solution" to a system of two linear equations is the point where the two lines cross. If the two lines are parallel, they never cross; hence parallel lines have no solution. Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope (the m value in y = mx+b). One of your equations is y = -2x + (you left the y-intercept out). The slope is -2. So any line with a slope of m = -2 will be parallel to this line and will not cross it. The second line also needs a different value of b, the y-intercept. Otherwise it is the same line and every point is a solution. So if your equation is:

y = -2x + 1

Then any equation of the form y = -2x + b, b≠1 will create a system with no solution. Hence the values of m and b are m = -2, b ≠ 1.

Does the point (0, 0) satisfy the equation y = 9x?

miskamm [114]

Answer:

yes it does

Step-by-step explanation:

because the equation y=9x does not have a y-intercept (all slopes come in the form y=mx+b -- it can be written differently though) and since there is no 'b' that means the y-intercept is 0. So whenever there is no y-intercept, the slope starts at 0.
