By finding the proportional relation between x and y, we will see that when x = 16, we have y = 32.

<h3>How to get the value of y when x = 16?</h3>

If y varies directly with x, then we can write the relation as:

y = k*x

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

First, we know that when x = 4, we have y = 8, replacing that we get:

8 = k*4

Solving for k, we get:

k = 8/4 = 2.

Then the relation between x and y is:

y = 2*x

When x = 16, we have:

y = 2*16 = 32

Then the correct option is a.

A circle is defined by the equation x2 + y2 – x – 2y – = 0. What are the coordinates for the center of the circle and the length

madreJ [45]

X^2 + y^2 - x - 2*y = 0
To find both coordinates and radius we need to make this equation in circle form:
(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2

x^2 - 2*1/2*x + 1/4 - 1/4 + y^2 - 2*1*y + 1 - 1 = 0
Here we are adding and subtracting numbers in order to get square binomial.
(x - 1/2)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 5/4

coordinates of center are (1/2,1) and the radius is √ $\frac{5}{4}$
