Show that the equation y + 8 = 2(4x + 4) is linear and that it represents a proportional relationship between x and y.

What is the ratio of the change in y-values to the change in x-values for this function? a) 1: 13 b) 2: 5 c) 5: 2 d) 13: 1

If cos(2x) = tan^2(y), show that cos(2y) = tan^2(x).

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?
