Answer:

p=32/15 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write the correct equation. Inverse variation problems are solved using the equation y=k/x. In this case, you should use v and p instead of x and y. y=k/x---> v=k/p  

Step 2: Use the information given in the problem to find the value of k. In this case, you need to find k when v = 32 and p = 4. 32=k/4 128=k

Step 3: Rewrite the equation from step 1 substituting in the value of k found in step 2. v=128/p  

Step 4: Use the equation found in step 3 and the remaining information given in the problem to answer the question asked. In this case, you need to find p when v = 60.  

60=128/p    60p=128           p=32/15 pounds

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions. 3x-5y= -30
anastassius [24]

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b. So let's use the given equation and turn it into this form.

3x-5y=-30

Move the -3x to the right side

-5y=-3x-30

Divide both sides by -5

y=\dfrac{3}{5}x+6

This should be your answer, let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Determine the slope of each line.
faust18 [17]
(2,-2)(5,7)

7-(-2)= 9
5-2= 3
9/3= 3

slope = 3

(you could also calculate the slope by just counting up how many units it goes up/down when you pick a point from the x-axis and move left/right. basically counting the rise over run)

Solve the pair of simultaneous equations and leave the answer as a fraction in
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

x = 11/3 = 3 2/3

y = 13/3 = 4 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to solve the system of equations simultaneously

x + y = 8

2x -3 = y

From the second equation, we have an equation for y

we can simply proceed to substitute this into the first equation

x + 2x - 3 = 8

3x - 3 = 8

3x = 8 + 3

3x = 11

x = 11/3

Recall;

y = 2x - 3

y = 2(11/3) - 3

y = 22/3 - 3

y = (22-3(3))/3

y = (22-9)/3 = 13/3
