Answer:

Option B. 7.6

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

where

k is the constant of proportionality

The slope of the linear equation is the same that the constant of proportionality

In this problem we have

$y=7.6x$

the slope is $m=7.6$

therefore

The constant of proportionality k is $k=7.6$

Which equation is the equation of a circle with a diameter of 20 cm and center at (-3, 6)?

larisa86 [58]

The equation of a circle with centre (a,b) and radius r is:
(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2
thus,
here centre (a,b) = (-3,6), a = -3, b = 6
and radius = diameter/2 = 20/2 =10 units
therefore, the equation is
(x + 3)^2 + (y - 6)^2 = 100
which is c.
