Question

determine whether y varies with x. if so, find the constant of variation k.
-6y=-5x

a. yes;5/6 b.yes;6/5 c.yes;-5 d.mo

Answer 1

Y will vary with x if you can set up the equation in the form y = kx. Hint: just take your original equation and solve for y if it is possible.

Answer 2

do i change it to y=6-5x ?

Answer 3

What does -6y mean? What operation is going on between -6 and y (addition? subtraction? multiplicaion? division?) Determine the correct operation and then choose the correct method of isolating the y.

Answer 4

umm im not really sure im really not to good at math lol im guessing division??

Answer 5

I can't just hand you an answer. The best I can do for you is to start off by saying that when a number is "next to" a variable, the implied operation is multiplication.

Answer 6

okay so i multiply -6 by -5x is that what your saying i got 30 but that isnt one of the answers

Answer 7

I can't help you.

Answer 8

why

Answer 9

Because the problem you are having is that you don't understand fractions and I can't give you a course in that in this typing format. It would take a long time.

Answer 10

ohh no its not fractions its finding the constant variation of k...

Answer 11

Yes, but you don't know how to add/subtract/divide/multiply with them. I'm sorry. I wish I could help you, but I can't.

Answer 12

ok thanks
