Answer:

y - 3 = -10 (x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope formula is y-y_1 = m (x-x_1). When knowing the slope of a line and a point it intersects, we can write its equation with that formula. Substitute m, x_1, and y_1 for real values.

1) First, find m, or the slope. Use the slope formula m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} and substitute the x and y values of the given points. Then, solve:

m = \frac{(-7)-(3)}{(3)-(2)} \\m = \frac{-7-3}{3-2} \\m = \frac{-10}{1} \\m = -10

Therefore, the slope of the line is -10.

2) Now, substitute the needed real values into the point-slope formula, y-y_1 = m (x-x_1). Since m represents the slope, substitute -10 in its place. Since x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of a point the line crosses, choose any of the points given and substitute its values into the formula. (Either one is fine, they both equal the same thing. I chose (2,3).) This will give the following answer and equation:

y - 3 = -10 (x-2)

Y is inversely proportional to a^3
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

y = 0.64/x^3

Step-by-step explanation:

If y is inversely proportional to a^3, we can write the equation:

y * a^3 = k

Using a = 2 and y = 10, we have:

10 * 2^3 = k

k = 80

If a is directly proportional to x, we can write the equation:

a = c * x

Using x = 4 and a = 20, we have:

20 = c * 4

c = 5

Now, using the value of a = 5*x in the equation y * a^3 = 80, we have:

y * (5x)^3 = 80

y * 125x3 = 80

y = 80/(125x3) = 0.64/x^3
