If a varies directly as b:
a = k b
28 = 7 k
k = 28 : 7 = 4
When a = 5:
5 = 4 b
b = 5 : 4
b = 1.25

Answer:

Value of b = \frac{5}{4} =1.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct Variation states that a relationship  between two variables in which one is a constant multiple of the other.

*if one variable changes the other changes in proportion to the first.

*If a is directly proportional to b i.e,  

a \propto b then it is of the form

a = kb     ;where k is constant variation.  

Given: a varies directly as b;

then, by definition of direct variation;

we have;

a = kb             .....[1]

Substitute the value of a =28 and b =7 to solve for k;

28 = k(7)

Divide both sides by 7 we have;

\frac{28}{7}=\frac{7k}{7}

Simplify:

k =4

now, find b using same method when a =5;

then;

after substituting the value of a = 5 and k=4 in [1] ;

5=(4)b

Divide by 4 to both sides we get;

b =\frac{5}{4}

Therefore, the value of b = \frac{5}{4} =1.25

The coordinates of the preimage of polygon ABCD and the image ofA'B'C'D' are given below. What rule describes the transformation
I am Lyosha [343]

The coordinates of polygon ABCD are:

A(4,3) B(4,0) C(-1, 1) D(-1, 4)

and

The coordinates of the transformed polygon A'B'C'D' are:

A'(1, 1) B'(1, -2) C'(-4,-1) D'(-4, 2)

To understand the transformed rule, just remove the coordinates of the actual polygon from the transformed polygon.

A' - A = (1, 1) - (4, 3) = (1 - 4, 1 - 3) = (-3, -2)

Similarly,

B' - B = (1, -2) - (4, 0) = (1 - 4, -2 - 0) = (-3, 2)

The same result will be obtained from other points (C and D). Therefore, the first option (-3, 2) is correct.
