Answer: -5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula: $\frac{y_{2}-y_1 }{x_2-x_1}$

You substitute the numbers in and subtract to get -5/3.

One of the tables shows a proportional relationship. Graph the line representing the proportional relationship from this table i

Mkey [24]

Answer:

Table C

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

Find the value of the constant of proportionality in each table

Table A

For $x=-2, y=-4$ ------> $k=-4/-2=2$

For $x=-1, y=-3$ ------> $k=-3/-1=3$

This table has different values of k

therefore

the table A does not represent a proportional relationship

Table B

For $x=-2, y=-4$ ------> $k=-4/-2=2$

For $x=-1, y=-2$ ------> $k=-2/-1=2$

For $x=1, y=3$ ------> $k=3/1=3$

This table has different values of k

therefore

the table B does not represent a proportional relationship

Table C

For $x=-2, y=-4$ ------> $k=-4/-2=2$

For $x=-1, y=-2$ ------> $k=-2/-1=2$

For $x=1, y=2$ ------> $k=2/1=2$

For $x=2, y=4$ ------> $k=4/2=2$

This table has the same value of k

therefore

the table C represent a proportional relationship

Table D

For $x=-2, y=-4$ ------> $k=-4/-2=2$

For $x=-1, y=-2$ ------> $k=-2/-1=2$

For $x=1, y=2$ ------> $k=2/1=2$

For $x=2, y=6$ ------> $k=6/2=3$

This table has different values of k

therefore

the table D does not represent a proportional relationship

Two basketballs are thrown along different paths. Determine if the basketballs’ paths are parallel to each

Paul [167]

Answer:

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that:

Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equivalent.
Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.
And two lines are neither if neither of the two cases above apply.

So, let's find the slope of each equation.

The first basketball is modeled by:

$\displaystyle 3x+4y=12$

We can convert this into slope-intercept form. Subtract 3x from both sides:

$4y=-3x+12$

And divide both sides by four:

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{4}x+3$

So, the slope of the first basketball is -3/4.

The second basketball is modeled by:

$-6x-8y=24$

Again, let's convert this into slope-intercept form. Add 6x to both sides:

$-8y=6x+24$

And divide both sides by negative eight:

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{4}x-3$

So, the slope of the second basketball is also -3/4.

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.

4-5 (2-1)=how to sove it

DerKrebs [107]

$4 - 5(2 - 1) = \: ?$

PEMDAS states to do what's in the parenthesis first...

$4 - 5(1)$

PEMDAS states to multiply 5 by 1 next...

$4 - 5$

PEMDAS states to subtract 4 by 5 next...

$= - 1$

Paul graphs the equation y = 2x where does the graph intersect the y axis

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

(0,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Y = 2x is a proportional relationship because it follows the form y = kx, where k = constant of proportionality. Proportional relationships intersect the y-axis at (0,0), thus having a y-intercept of 0, but we usually don't write the 0.

Given the information above, y = 2x intersects the y-axis at (0,0), the origin.
