Answer:
y = -1/2 x
Step-by-step explanation:
Follow the directions "Complete the steps to write the equation of direct variation. Start with the equation of direct variation y = kx. Substitute in the given values for x and y to get . Solve for k to get . Write the direct variation equation with the value found for k."
y = kx substitute y = -4 and x = 8.
-4 = k*8
-4/8 = k
-1/2 = k
So the equation is y = -1/2(x).
Answer:
$13.20/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
A 10% wage increase would amount to 0.10($12) = $1.20. Adding this increase to the starting rate $12/hr results in $13.20/ hr.
A faster way in which to do this is shown below:
Wages after a 10% increase = (1.10)($12/hr) = $13.20/hr
the store is 1/3 the way to her friend's house, not 1/3 mile.
this explains solution:
1/3x = 1/4
x = 1/4 * 1/3
x = 3/4
Notes:
X: is the total distance.
1/3 is the one portion of total distance.
1/4 mile is the distance store.
