A varies directly with b → a = kb where k is the constant of variation (i.e. slope)

-2 = k × 3 ← substitute values into the formula above

-2/3 = k ← result of dividing both sides by 3

Answer: k = -\frac{2}{3}

Gnesinka [82]

s - the number of the t-shirts;

h - the number of hats:

The system of equations:

s + h = 23

10 s + 12 h = 246

--------------------------

s = 23 - h

10 * ( 23 - h ) + 12 h = 246

230 - 10 h + 12 h = 246

2 h = 246 - 230

2 h = 16

h = 16 : 2

h= 8

s = 23 - 8

s = 15

Answer: The basketball team sold 15 t-shirts and 8 hats.

The area of triangle A = 1/2 * 8 * 4 = 16 (cm2)
