Answer:

y = 46

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = $\frac{k}{x}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 23 when x = 8 , then

23 = $\frac{k}{8}$ ( multiply both sides by 8 )

184 = k

y = $\frac{184}{x}$ ← equation of variation

When x = 4 , then

y = $\frac{184}{4}$ = 46

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

2πr is the formula for circumference, you know your diameter is 4cm and radius is half of the diameter, so your radius is 2cm.

To find the circumference, you have to multiply 2 by 2 and pie. 2 x 2 is 4. So 4 times pie. B is your correct answer.

I hope this helps :)

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes theought the point (12, -2)

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Option D (y = 5/6x -12).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

The equation of the line which passes through the point (12,-2) is (y+2) = m2(x-12)………(i) [Using one point formula].

According to the question, the first line passes through point (12,6) and (0,-4).

So,

$slope(m1) = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

$or \: m1 = \frac{ - 4 - 6}{0 - 12}$

$or \: m1 = \frac{5}{6}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is 5/6.

Now as per the condition of parallel lines, m1 =m2 = 5/6.

So, keeping the value of m2 in equation (i), we get;

(y+2) = 5/6(x-12)

$y + 2 = \frac{5}{6} x - 10$

or, y = 5/6x - 12.

Therefore, the required equation is y = 5/6 X - 12.

Hope it helps!
