Focus on the values in red outside the table (on the left and right sides). As the output increases by 4, the input increases by 1. This leads to the slope being rise/run = 4/1 = 4. The slope is the number just to the left of the x variable. So that's how they ended up with the equation y = 4x.

You can think of it as y = 4x+0, and note how it's in the form y = mx+b

m = 4 = slope

b = 0 = y intercept

The y intercept is the value of y when x = 0.

--------

Now because x = 0 and y = 0 pair up together, we can find the slope a different way: Pick any row other than the first row. Divide the y value over its paired x value. So let's say we pick on row two and we'd get a slope of y/x = 4/1 = 4.

Or we could pick on row three and get y/x = 8/2 = 4.

Picking on the fourth row gets us the slope to be y/x = 12/3 = 4. We end up with the same slope value each time. Again, this trick only works if (x,y) = (0,0) is on the line. Otherwise, you'll need to use the first method or use the slope formula.

For equations like this, we consider them a direct proportion. As x increases, so does y. As x increases by 1, y increases by 4. This is the same throughout the table.

----------

A real world example of this could be that x represents the number of sodas you buy, and if each soda is $4, then y = 4x represents the total cost of buying x number of sodas.

For instance, if you bought x = 10 sodas, then y = 4*x = 4*10 = 40 dollars is what you spend overall.

6.81 is what percent of 45.5
frosja888 [35]

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 45.5 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 45.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 45.5=100%.

4. We know, that x is 6.81% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.81%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 45.5=100%

2) x=6.81%

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

45.5/x=100%/6.81%

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.


7. Solution for what is 6.81% of 45.5


45.5/x=100/6.81

(45.5/x)*x=(100/6.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

45.5=14.684287812041*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.684287812041) to get x

45.5/14.684287812041=x

3.09855=x

x=3.09855

now we have:

6.81% of 45.5=3.09855

Hope this helps!

Drag each figure to show if it is similar to the figure shown or why it is not similar
natita [175]

Answer:

In the given shapes above, we can see that all shapes have four sides.

Above geometrical shapes could be named as Rectangles, parallelogram or quadrilateral.

First two shapes are Rectangles.

Third is a parallelogram.

Fourth and fifth shapes are Rectangles again.

Also we can say all those shapes with four side as quadrilaterals. (Note: A quadrilateral has four sides.)

Below shown shape has only three sides in it.

It is called a triangle when a shape has three sided close figure.

So, we could drag : Not similar - Different Type of shape.
