What is the correct equation for direct variation that includes the point (6, –3)?

Mathematics

Anika [276]3 years ago

A direct variation equation always takes the form y=kx, where k is a constant

Let's plug in the values of x=6 and y= -3 to solve for the value of k

-3 = k(6)

Let's flip this equality so we have the k on the left side of the equation.

6k = -3

Let's divide both sides by 6

k = -3/6

Now, simplify the fraction 

k = -1/2

Now that we found the value of k, our equation is

y = (-1/2) x

Have an awesome day! :)

Tourists covered 640 km for a 4 hour ride by car and a 7 hour ride by train. What is the speed of the train, if it is 5 km/h gre
gavmur [86]

Answer:

60 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the x to represent the speed of the car since it is the smaller value.

Then, the distance covered by the car is 4x since was going 4 kph.

The distance covered by the train is (x+5) times 7 or 7x+35.

We know that the total distance covered is 640 km.

Using this information, we can set up the equation 4x+7x+35=640.

By subtracting both sides by 35 and combining the x's, we get a new equation of 11x=605.

After this, we divide both sides by 11 and get x=55.

Lastly, we add 5 to 55 since the train is 5 km faster than the car and that x stood for the car.

Train=60 km/h

What is the best approximation for the perimeter of a semicircle with a dimeter of 12cm?
taurus [48]
Answer is choice B: the circumference of a circle is the same as perimeter and is defined by πd (or pi times diameter) We can cut this in half because we are working with a semicircle: so we have 6π which approximates to the value in answer when using 3.14 for pi Woops: forgot to add the diameter of 12 so we would have 30.84
