The variables x and y are directly

Mathematics

Answer: When y = -4, x = -10.

Explanation:
The equation for direct variation is y = kx^n, where k is the constant of variation. n is the exponent above the x value, but since this problem doesn’t involve exponents greater than one, we can ignore it.

First, find k.
y = kx
6 = k*15
k = 6/15 or 2/5

Now, we can solve for any x or y input. Let’s find x when y = -4.
y = kx
-4 = 2/5 * x
(to cancel out the fraction, multiply each side of the equation by its reciprocal, 5/2)
x = -4 * 5/2
x = -20/2
x = -10

The answer would be 8900
Reason: when you round to 2 significant figures you are trying to reduce the number to 2 digits and the rest will become 0 to indicate a place value

What is the value of "w" ?
NISA [10]

Answer:

w = \sqrt{147}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

w² + 7² = 14²

w² + 49 = 196 ( subtract 49 from both sides )

w² = 147 ( take the square root of both sides )

w = \sqrt{147}

4. Which of the following describes a proportional relationship?
Papessa [141]

Answer:

G. Heather rented a hotel for $110 a night plus $18 a night for valet parking

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship is one that has a constant ratio between two variables

y/x = Constant

From the given options, the one with a proportional relationship is option G.

The amount at which Heather rented a hotel = $110

The amount he pays for valet parking = $18

The total amount Heather pays a night = $110 + $18 = $128

The amount she pays for 2 nights = 2 × $128 = $256

Therefore, we have;

\begin{array}{cc}x&y\\1&128\\2&256\\3&384\end{array}

From which we get;

y/x = 128/1 = 256/2 = 128 = Constant.
