If y = –4 when x = 10, find y when x = 5.

y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

y/x = k

Given y =4, x = 10 , It can be expressed as the ratio is 4/10.  We set the other as y/5.  By the definition two ratios are equal.   4/10 = y/5 . Multiply to each side by 5.  4/10*5 = y/5*5 . 20/10  = y

y = 2

y=2

Step-by-step explanation: If 10=4, then 5 equals 4 divided by 2, which equals 2.

Hopefully this helped! :D

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
