Suppose y varies directly with x, and y= 10 when x=-2. what direct variation equation relates x and y? what is the value of y when x=-15. i don't understand how to solve this, can someone explain to me how to get the answer and what it's asking. p. s. it's a practice question so i know the answer just not how to get it.

The statement " y varies directly as x ," means that when x increases,y increases by the same factor. In other words, y and x always have the same ratio:

Since k is constant (the same for every point), we can find k when given any point by dividing the y-coordinate by the x-coordinate. For example, if y varies directly as x , and y = 6 when x = 2 , the constant of variation is k =  = 3 . Thus, the equation describing this direct variation is y = 3x .

Example 1: If y varies directly as x , and x = 12 when y = 9 , what is the equation that describes this direct variation?

k =  =  
y =  x

Example 2: If y varies directly as x , and the constant of variation is k =  , what is y when x = 9 ?

y =  x = (9) = 15

As previously stated, k is constant for every point; i.e., the ratio between the y -coordinate of a point and the x -coordinate of a point is constant. Thus, given any two points (x 1, y 1) and (x 2, y 2) that satisfy the equation,  = k and  = k . Consequently,  =  for any two points that satisfy the equation.

Example 3: If y varies directly as x , and y = 15 when x = 10 , then what is y when x = 6 ?

 =  
 =  
6() = y 
y = 9

answer:

total cost for tiles and paints is $924.  

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given that a community hall is in the shape of a cuboid. the hall is 40m long 15m high and 3m wide.

the paint will be required for 4 walls and ceiling.

let us find area of walls and ceiling.

therefore, the area of walls and ceiling is 1410 square meters.

given: cost for 10 litre of paint is $10 and 10 litre paint covers 25 square meter. therefore,

therefore, the total painting cost is $564.

tiles will be required for floor. let us find the area of floor.

given: 1m squared floor tiles costs $3. so,

therefore, the total tiles cost is $360.

now let us find combined total cost of tiles and paint.

therefore, the combined total cost of tiles and paint is $924.

the correct answer option is (2x-3)(2x+3).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to factorize it:

we are to find such factors that when multiplied they give a result of 36 (9 x 4 = 36) and when added they give a result of 0.

the two such factors of 36 are negative six and postive six.

factorizing the given expression to get:

therefore, the correct factorization of is (2x-3)(2x+3).
