Answer:

y = (3/5)x+26/5 or 5y = 3x+26

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

The equation of a line in two point form

(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (y-y₁)/(x-x₁)............... Equation 1

From the question,

Given: y₂ = 7, y₁ = 4, x₂ = 3, x₁ = -2

Substitute these values into equation 1

(7-4)/[3-(-2)] = (y-4)/(x+2)

3/5 = (y-4)/(x+2)

5(y-4) = 3(x+2)

5y-20 = 3x+6

5y = 3x+6+20

5y = 3x+26

y = (3/5)x+26/5

Hence the equation of the line is y = (3/5)x+26/5 or 5y = 3x+26

Solve the equation for the y-value and choose whether it is a direct variation or inverse variation.

$\\ \sf\longmapsto xy=7$

Take x to right and divide

$\\ \sf\longmapsto y=\dfrac{7}{x}$

Hence

. $\\ \sf\longmapsto y\propto \dfrac{1}{x}$

A boat has a speed of 15 mph in still water. It travels downstream from Greentown to Glenavon in g hours. It then goes back upst

Lerok [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find two things-- the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current. Each of these things will be represented by a different variable:

B = speed of the boat in still water

C = speed of the current

Since we have two variables, we will need to find a system of two equations to solve.

How do we find the two equations we need?

Rate problems are based on the relationship Distance = (Rate)(Time).

Fill in the chart with your data (chart attached)

The resulting speed of the boat (traveling upstream) is B-C miles per hour. On the other hand, if the boat is traveling downstream, the current will be pushing the boat faster, and the boat's speed will increase by C miles per hour. The resulting speed of the boat (traveling downstream) is B+C miles per hour. Put this info in the second column in the chart. Now plug it into a formula! <u>Distance=(Rate)(Time) </u>Now solve using the systems of equations!

john had a ribbon that was 1 1/2 meters long. he used 2 pieces that were each 1/3 of that length. how much ribbon did john use

Of means multiplication. So the question is 1/3 X 1 1/2. First make 1 1/2 improper: 3/2. Then multiply the numerators (top numbers) and denominaters (bottom numbers): 1x3=3, 3x2=6, =3/6. Now simplify 3/6=1/2. Then multiply that by 2, since he used 2 pieces: 1/2x2=1. John used 1 meter :)
