A direct variation function contains the points (2,14) and (4,38) which equation represents the function

You are given two points on a line, and told that the function is "direct variation."  You can save a lot of time by recognizing that the y-intercept here is zero (0).  Thus, the line passes through the origin.

A line through (2,14) and (4,38) is NOT direct variation, because the line connecting those two points does NOT pass through the origin, and thus has a vertical intercept.

Adam is working two summer jobs, making $9 per hour washing cars and $8 per hour walking dogs. Last week Adam earned a total of
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Washing cars= 4 hours

Walking dogs= 10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to start by creating equations. So one thing we know is that he makes $9 an hour washing cars(x) and $8 walking dogs(y).

$9x+$8y=$116

The second Equation is based off of the hours worked. We know that he worked 6 hours more walking the dogs than he did washing cars, so we can take x(being the washing hours) and add 6 to it to equal y (the number of dog hours).

y=x+6

Now You plug what y equals into the first equation to solve for x.

9x+8(x+6)=116     Next distribute the 8 to each term.

9x+8(x)+8(6)=116

9x+8x+48=116     Add the like terms together (9x+8x)

17x+48=116         Subtract the 48 from both sides

     -48  -48

17x=68             Now divide by 17 on both sides.

______

17    17

x=4                 Finally we can take x and plug it back in to one of the equations in order to solve for y. I'm going to choose the second equation.

y=(4)+6

y=10

An employee compiled sales data for a company once each month. The scatter plot below shows the sales (in multiples of $1000) fo
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

$50,100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the scatter plot and the linear model, we can estimate that the total sales for the company after 40 months will be close to $50,000.  However, in order to get a more precise answer, we can solve for the total sales, 'y', based on the number of months, 'x', in the given linear model:

y = 0.94(40) + 12.5  = 37.6 + 12.5 = 50.1

Since the amount of sales is in multiples of $1000:

50.1 * 1,000 = $50,100

On a coordinate plane, parallelogram P Q R S is shown. Point P is at (negative 2, 5), point Q is at (2, 1), point R is at (1, ne
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The perimeter is (8\sqrt{2}+2\sqrt{10})\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and equal

so

In this problem

PS=QR ----> equation A

SR=PQ ----> equation B

The perimeter of parallelogram PQRS is

P=PQ+QR+SR+PS ----> equation C

substitute equation A and equation B in equation C

P=2SR+2QR

we have

QR=\sqrt{10}\ units

SR=4\sqrt{2}\ units

substitute in the formula of perimeter

P=2(4\sqrt{2})+2(\sqrt{10})

P=(8\sqrt{2}+2\sqrt{10})\ units

Computer keyboard failures are due to faulty electrical connects (12%) or mechanical defects (88%). Mechanical defects are relat
Margaret [11]

Answer:

a) 23.76%

b) 7.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) probability that a failure is due to loose keys.

loose key failure (27%) comes under mechanical failure(88%)

hence, probability that a failure is due to loose keys= 0.27×0.88= 0.2376= 23.76%

b)  probability that a failure is due to improperly connected wire which comes under electrical failure = 0.12×0.13

probability that a failure is due to poorly welded wires which comes under electrical failure= 0.52×0.12

now, the probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded wires. = 0.12(0.52+0.13)= 0.078= 7.8%

A waterbed filled with water has the dimensions 8ft by 7 ft by .75 ft taking the density of water to be 1.00/gm cubed how many k
monitta

By definition, the density is given by:

D = \frac{m}{V}

Where,

m: mass

V: volume

Clearing the mass we have:

m = DV

The volume is given by:

V = (8) * (7) * (0.75)

V = 42ft ^ 3

Then, we have the following conversion:

1foot = 0.3048m

Applying the conversion we have:

V = 42 * (0.3048) ^ 3

V = 1.19m ^ 3

On the other hand we have the following conversions:

1m = 100cm

1Kg = 1000g

Applying the conversions for the density we have:

D = (1\frac{g}{cm^3})((\frac{100}{1})^3\frac{cm^3}{1m^3})(\frac{1}{1000}\frac{Kg}{g})=1000\frac{Kg}{m^3}

Then, the mass of the water is:

m = (1000) * (1.19)

m = 1190

Answer:

1190 kilgrams of water are required to fill the waterbed
