$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} k=constant\ of\\ \qquad variation \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{\underline{I}nterest varies with \underline{b}alance}}{I=kb}\qquad \qquad \textit{we know that } \begin{cases} b=200\\ I=12.5 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 12.5=k200 \implies \cfrac{12.5}{200}=k\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{125}{10}~~}{\frac{200}{1}}=k\implies \cfrac{125}{10}\cdot \cfrac{1}{200}=k \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{16}=k \qquad \qquad \textit{therefore}\qquad \boxed{I=\cfrac{1}{16}b} \\\\\\ \textit{when b = 500, what is \underline{I}?}\qquad I=\cfrac{1}{16}(500)\implies I=\cfrac{125}{4}\implies I=31.25$

WHOEVER EXPLAINS ALL THEIR WORK AND GOES THROW EAXH STEP WILL GET BRAINLEST THAT IS COMPLETELY FINISEHD. write the equation of t

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

$y = -3x+11$

Step-by-step explanation:

I accept your challenge!

First we know that a equation of the line is a linear equation, and its equation is:

$y = mx+b$

$m: \text{slope}\\b: \text{y-intercept}$

In this context, the slope, defined as the steepness of a line is characterized as the ratio of RISE (the difference in the y-coordinates, the vertical change) over the RUN (the difference in x-coordinates, the horizontal change).

$m=\frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}}=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Once we know two points where the line goes through, we can get the slope, once we know the change in y and x.

I will take $(3,2)$ as Point 1 and $(4,-1)$ as Point 2.

So, $x_{1}=3 \text{ and } y_{1}=2\\x_{2}=4 \text{ and } y_{2}=-1$

$m=\frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}}=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{-1-2}{4-3}$

$m=\frac{-3}{1}=-3$

Now we have to find the y-intercept:

To do so, think about the the points given and the nearly finished equation, we can find b with those two informations.

Our currently equation of the line is:

$y = -3x+b$

Using the points, take Point 1 as an example, it says that when $x = 3, y = 2$ , so plugging it in the equation:

$2 = -3(3)+b\\2 = -9+b\\11 = b$

Taking the Point 2

$-1 = -3(4)+b\\-1 = -12+b\\11 = b$

Now we found $b$ ! The equation is complete!

$y = -3x+11$

1) Explain the Distributive Property in your own words.

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The Distributive Property states that when a number in parentheses is next to a number, you distribute the number outside of the parentheses and multiply by each of the numbers in parentheses.

5(10+x)=5(10)+5(x)=50+5x
