The variation equation is xy = a^3

<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>

An inverse variation is represented as:

xy = k

Where k is the constant of variation

When y = a and x =a^2, we have:

k = a * a^2

Evaluate

k = a^3

Substitute k = a^3 in xy = k

xy = a^3

Hence, the equation is xy = a^3

Name a pair of perpendicular lines: <br>is line BC and AJ perpendicular: explain

wel

A pair of perpendicular lines would be line CF and line AJ.

Line BC and line AJ are NOT perpendicular because when a pair of lines are perpendicular, all angles become 90 degrees. It is obvious, in the case, if you were to slide line BC on top of line AJ, the angles will not equal 90 degrees.

Quadrilateral PQRS is transformed by translating it 6 units to the right and then rotating it 90° clockwise

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

(y, -x -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The coordinates of PQRS is not given, however we'll assume the coordinates of PQRS to be (x,y)</em>

<em />

The first transformation: 6 units right

$(x,y) -> (x + b, y)$
