Answer:

Ming has described a proportional relationship because the ordered pairs are linear and the line passes through the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x - y

5 - 10

10 - 20

15 - 30

Required

Determine if the data are proportional

The dataset is small; so, we can derive the relationship by observation.

By observing the x and y values, the relationship is:

y = 2x --- i.e. multiply x values by 2.

This is further proven by:

y = 2 * 5 = 10

y = 2 * 10 = 20

y = 2 * 15 = 30

y = 2 * 0 = 0 --- the origin

Hence, the dataset is proportional and it passes through the origin.

Solve for x. 9 4 13.5 x+4

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel lines divide the transversals into proportional segments, that is

$\frac{x+4}{13.5}$ = $\frac{4}{9}$ ( cross- multiply )

9(x + 4) = 54 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x + 4 = 6 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = 2

Greta currently works 45 hours per week and earns a weekly salary of $729. She

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Greta will be earning 3.6/h more at her new job.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference subract Greta‘s salary from her current job from Greta’s salary from her future job.

To find Greta’s salary (numerator) at her future job divide her current weekly salary ($729) by 45h then multiply that answer (16.2) by the increase in salary 10% or 1.1. You should end up with $17.82- this is your numerator. To find the denominator divide her current hours (45h) by 45 then multiply that answer (1) by 0.9 which is the 10% decrease in hours. Now you have a fraction ($17.82/0.9) then multiply that fraction by 1.1/1.1 to get the denominator to 1 hour so you can subtract the fractions. You should end up with $19.8/h.

Now subtract Greta’s current salary ($16.2/h)- you just take the numbers from the first part before you increase or decrease- from her future salary ($19.8/h), you will end up with 3.6/h.

I was challenged to write this in a single equation:

[((($729\45h)x1.1)/((45h\45)x0.9))x1.1/1.1]-[($729\45h)/(45h\45)]

=$3.6/h

/ means a fraction bar

\ means division

Also I am just a student so please tell me if you find any mistakes I could fix or any suggestions to make this a better explanation, and if you have any questions ask away.

Identify the constant of proportionality from the graph. 11 10 9 00 7 6 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 O A. 4 B. 8 O c. D. 3

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

A. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant of proportionality (k) = y/x

We can use the coordinates of any point on the line to find k.

Let's use (2, 8)

Constant of proportionality (k) = 8/2

Constant of proportionality (k) = 4
