I don't think it's proportional, because in order for a question to be a proportional question has/could be to be like this:
Gasoline costs $2.79 per 2 gallon. How much will it cost for 8 gallon. Then, we cross multiply and all to find the answer.
Answer: V = (12in - 2*x)*(8 in - 2*x)*x
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have a rectangular cardboard sheet, and we cut four squares of side length x in each corner so we can make a box.
Remember that for a box of length L, width W and height H, the volume is:
V = L*W*H
In this case, the length initially is 12 inches, but we remove (from each end) x inches of the length, then the length of the box will be:
L = 12 in - 2*x
For the width we have a similar case:
W = 8in - 2*x
And te height of the box will be equal to x, then:
H = x
This means that the volume is:
V = (12in - 2*x)*(8 in - 2*x)*x
Here we can see the connection between the cutout and the volume of the box
In order to be parallel to your line, a line has to have the same slope as your line. So it has to have slope −4

Answer:
Slope: -1/5 y-intercept: 12
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -1/5x + 12
The equation given is the slope-intercept form, y= mx + b
In this equation, the m, or number in front of the x, is the slope of the line.
The b in the equation represents the y-intercept.
Therefore, according to the given equation, the slope is -1/5 and the y-intercept is 12.
2/5 (x-4)=2x answer is x= -1
