Bring a non-graphing calculator and something to write with and erase with. Be prepared to show your work on all test problems in order to receive full or partial credit.. For the line given by the equation y 6 Find the - and y-intercepts. Find the slope of the line.. Find a linear function with slope, passing through the point,.. y varies directly as the square of. When is, then y is 8. Find y when = 6.. y varies inversely with. When is, then y is. Find the variation constant, k.. y varies directly with. When = 6, then y = 0. Find y when = 6. 6. Hooke s law states that the distance D a spring stretches varies directly with the weight W attached to the spring. When a weight of 0 pounds is attached, the spring stretches inches. Epress the distance that a spring stretches as a function of the weight attache Find the distance that the spring stretches from a 6 pound weight attache 7. Ohm s law states that the amount of current that flows through a wire varies inversely as the resistance. If a current of 9 amps flows through a wire with a resistance of ohms, then what current flows through a wire with a resistance of ohms? 8. Factor completely. If the polynomial cannot be factored, state that it is prime. 6abab g. 8y 8 9 h. 6 9 y i. 6 y 0y j. 8 0 e. 9 6 k. 8 f. 7s 6t l. 9 8 6
