<h3>Answer: Yes it is possible</h3>

Explanation:

Any linear equation in the form y = mx+b has a constant rate of change, and that rate of change is the slope m. If b = 0, then it turns into y = mx. Here m is the constant of proportionality. Direct proportion equations always go through the origin. If b is nonzero, then y = mx+b will not be proportional.

So for example, y = 2x is proportional while y = 2x+1 is not proportional.

Solve the equation square root X-6+2 = 6 for the variable. Show each step of your solution process

zhannawk [14.2K]

The first step would be to isolate the square root on the left side. √x-6+2 = 6 √x-6 = -2+6 √x-6 = 4We would have to take away the radical on the left and square the equation. (√x-6)2 = (4)2 x-6 = 16Finally, x -22 = 0 x = 22

PLEASE can someone explain why The exact value of sec ( π/6) is 2 /√ 3 ??

Umnica [9.8K]

$\bf sec\left( \frac{\pi }{6} \right)\qquad recall\to sec(\theta)=\cfrac{1}{cos(\theta)}\qquad thus
\\\\
sec\left( \frac{\pi }{6}\right)\iff \cfrac{1}{cos\left( \frac{\pi }{6}\right)}
\\\\\\
\textit{check your Unit Circle for what the }cos\left( \frac{\pi }{6}\right)\ is
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{1}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\implies 
\cfrac{1}{1}\cdot \cfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\implies \cfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$
