Chapter 8.4, Problem 35S

To determine

To rewrite: the given equation by replacing with given value

Answer to Problem 35S

The new equation is $y=\frac{1}{3}x$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $\begin{array}{l}y=kx\\ k=\frac{1}{3}\end{array}$

Calculation:

Replace k by $\frac{1}{3}$ in the above equation.

  $\begin{array}{l}y=kx\\ y=\frac{1}{3}x\text{ [Replace k by }\frac{1}{3}\text{]}\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Therefore, the new equation is $y=\frac{1}{3}x$ .
