we know that in direct variation as x increase y also increases.
in indirect variation x decreases y increase and vice versa.
in part a we have x at top (numerator ) and y at denominator it mean indirect variation (as x increases y decreases).
to find k we know that for indirect variation xy=k
if we rewrite the equation x=9/y we get xy=9
which mean k=9 .
in part b we have 4xy=20 if we simplify this equation we get

so here if we rewrite in terms of x.
we get x=5/y which represents indirect variation.
and we know xy=k
we have xy=5 .so k=5
Answer:
<em>The slope of the line is -1</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Slope of a Line</u>
Suppose we know a given line passes through points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated as follows:

From the table in the image, we select the points (1,4) (3,2). The slope is:

Now select two other points like (5,0) (7,-2)

Following the same procedure with any other pair of points, we'll get the very same result:
The slope of the line is -1
To subtract a number from another number, they must be the same type. 4 1/4 is a mixed number; 3/4 is a fraction. thus, 4 1/4 must be converted into fractional form go subract a fraction (3/4) from it.
Answer:
1) No
2) No
3) Yes
4) No
5) Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
All three sides must add with another to be greater than the last side (Not sure if that makes sense ._.)
