Answer:

k = - \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that x varies directly with y then the equation relating them is

x = ky ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition x = - 3 when y = 12

- 3 = 12k ( divide both sides by 12 )

\frac{-3}{12} = k , that is

k = - \frac{1}{4}

Find the equation of the line containing the points (0,3) and (1,8)
Tema [17]

Answer:

y = 5x + 3

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 )

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 8)

m = \frac{8-3}{1-0} = 5

Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3

y = 5x + 3 ← equation in slope- intercept form

Solve the equation <br> 4b + 22 = 5(b + 4) − 1
djverab [1.8K]

4b + 22 = 5 (b + 4) - 1 (remove the parantheses)

4b + 22 = 5b + 20 - 1 (calculate)

4b + 22 = 5b + 19 (move the terms)

4b - 5b = 19 - 22 (collect like terms and calculate)

-b = -3 (change the signs)

<em>b = 3</em>

Answer:

(i) 22.5

(ii) 7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

(i)

AB:PQ = 2:5 = 1:2.5

So PQ is 2.5 times longer than AB.

PQ=2.5AB=(2.5)9=22.5

(ii):

Since the triangles are similar, their sides are in ratio to each other. So if PQ was 2.5 times longer than AB, QR must also be 2.5 times longer than BC:

QR=2.5BC

BC=QR/2.5=18/2.5=7.2
