There is only one number that is equal to the absolute value of 15.
That number is 15.
But wait !
There are two different numbers WHOSE ABSOLUTE VALUES
are both 15.
Those numbers are 15 and -15 .
Inverse variation is of the form y=k/x (direct variation is of the form y=kx)
We are given that x=2 when y=1 so using the inverse form y=k/x we can solve for the constant of variation...
1=k/2
k=2
so the equation is:
y=2/x now they want us to find y when x=-1 so
y=2/-1
y=-2
Answer:
180 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Going North
<em><u>Formula</u></em>
d = r * t
<em><u>Givens</u></em>
r = 60 mph
t = 5.2 hours
d = ?
<em><u>Solution</u></em>
d = 5.2 * 60 = 312 miles north
Going South
<em><u>Givens</u></em>
r = 55 mph
t = 2.4 hours
<em><u>Solution</u></em>
d = r * t
d = 55 * 2.4
d = 132
Distance from home
Formula: Distance from home = Distance North - Distance South
Distance North = 312 - 132 = 180 miles
Answer:
Any points on the line y=2/5 x - 6/5. See picture below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert the equation to slope intercept form and graph it.
2x - 5y = 6
-5y = 6 - 2x
y = -2/-5 x + 6/-5
y=2/5 x - 6/5.
Locate each of the points listed on the graph. If they are a part of the line, then they are solutions.
