Triangular numbers can be represented with equilateral triangles formed by dots. The first five triangular numbers are 1, 3, 6,

10, and 15. Is there a direct variation between a triangular number and its position in the sequence? Explain your reasoning.

Position in the sequence    triangular number    relation

1                                          1                              1 = 1*(1+1)/2

2                                          3                              3 = 2(2+1)/2

3                                          6                              6 = 3(3+1)/2

4                                         10                            10 = 4(4+1)/2

5                                         15                              15= 5(5+1)/2

Call n the position in the sequence, then the triangular number is: n(n+1)/2

direct variation is y = kx  where y  would be the value of the number and x would be its position in the sequence, k is a constant 


so for consecutive values y/x would be a constant k 

In this case its not true becuse for example  3/1 = 3 and 6/3 = 2 


so there is no direct variation here.

Sample Response: No, the triangular numbers are not a direct variation. There is not a constant of variation between a number and its position in the sequence. The ratios of the numbers to their positions are not equal. Also, the points (1, 1), (2, 3), (3, 6), and so on, do not lie on a line.

Answer:

y=-\frac{3}{2}x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form means

y=mx+c

where m is given its the slope which is -\frac{3}{2} and we have the coordinates x and y which is (4, -5) and we need to find the value of c which is the y-intercept so we insert all these values into the equation so ,

y=mx+c

-5 = -\frac{3}{2}(4)+c

-5=-6+c

c=1

now we know the value of slope which is given -\frac{3}{2} and we found the value of which is 1 so we put these values into our original slope-intercept form equation

y=mx+c\\\\y=-\frac{3}{2}x+1

Select the correct answer.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 3 , thus

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (7, 8) into the partial equation

8 = - 21 + c ⇒ c = 8 + 21 = 29

y = - 3x + 29 → A
