X and y are in direct proportion, when x is 8, y is 12. Which of the following is not a

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nat2105 [25]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

d.

Step-by-step explanation:

if x varies directly as y,

x = ky

8 = 12k

12k = 8

k = 8/ 12

k = 2/3,

x = 2/3 y

now substitute the value of any of the numbers of each pair, and check if it works:

for e.g, find x when y = 15

x = 2/3y

x = 2/3 × 15

x = 10

since you obtain x = 10 when y = 15, the pair is a possible corresponding value of x and y. now do the same for the rest .

ii) x = 2/3y

x = 2/3 × 3, when y = 3

x = 2

hence, this is also a possible pair of x and y values.

iii) x = 2/3y

x = 2/3 × 9 when y = 9

x = 6

again, a possible pair of x and y values.

iv) x = 2/3y

x = 2/3 × 20 when y = 20

x = 40/3

here, when y = 20, x is not 15. it is 40/3.

thus, it can be determined that this is not a possible pair of x and y values.

please try to understand and have a great day!

A biologist has been observing a tree's height. This type of tree typically grows by 0.22 feet each month. Fifteen months into t
Lyrx [107]

Data:

x: number of months

y: tree's height

Tipical grow: 0.22

Fifteen months into the observation, the tree was 20.5 feet tall: x=15 y=20.5ft (15,20.5)

In this case the slope (m) or rate of change is the tipical grow.

m=0.22

To find the line's slope-intercep equation you use the slope (m) and the given values of x and y (15 , 20.5) in the next formula to find the y-intercept (b):

\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ 20.5=0.22(15)+b \\ 20.5=3.3+b \\ 20.5-3.3=b \\ 17.2=b \end{gathered}

Use the slope(m) and y-intercept (b) to write the equation:

\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\  \\ y=0.22x+17.2 \end{gathered}A) This line's slope-intercept equation is: y=0.22x+17.2

B) To find the height of the tree after 29 months you substitute in the equation the x for 29 and evaluate to find the y:

\begin{gathered} y=0.22(29)+17.2 \\ y=6.38+17.2 \\  \\ y=23.58 \end{gathered}Then, after 29 months the tree would be 23.58 feet in height

C) In this case as you have the height and need to find the number of moths you substitute the y for 29.96feet and solve the equation for x, as follow:

\begin{gathered} 29.96=0.22x+17.2 \\ 29.96-17.2=0.22x \\ 12.76=0.22x \\ \frac{12.76}{0.22}=x \\  \\ 58=x \end{gathered}Then, after 58 months the tree would be 29.96feet tall
