Given expression :

y = kx

let's plug the value of x as 0.4 and y as 20 in the given equation :

20 = 0.4k

k = 20 ÷ 0.4

k = 50

correct choice - D. 50

$\\ \sf\longmapsto y=kx$

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

put values

$\\ \sf\longmapsto k=\dfrac{20}{0.4}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto k=50$

Line CD passes through points (0, 2) and (4, 6). Which equation represents line CDI

Kryger [21]

Answer:

y = x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the rate of change [slope]:

-y₁ + y₂\-x₁ + x₂ = m

$\frac {-2 + 6}{0 + 4} = \frac{4}{4} = 1$

Then use the Point-Slope Formula since we are given points. Now, according to this formula, all negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY careful inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT signs. It does not matter which one you choose:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 6 = x - 4

+ 6 + 6

_______________

y = x + 2 >> Line in Slope-Intercept Form

__________________________________________________________

y - 2 = x

+ 2 + 2

______________

y = x + 2 >> Line in Slope-Intercept Form

** You see? I told you that it would not matter which ordered pair you choose because you will always get the exact same result!!!
