The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.
We have then:
P: pressure
A: Area of the sole of the shoe
Since the variation is inverse, we have an equation of the form:

We must find the value of k.
For this, we use the following data:
when the shoes have a sole area of 40 in ^ 2 The pressure is 4 lbs / in ^ 2
Substituting values we have:

From here, let's clear k:

Then, the equation is:
Answer:
The equation that relates these variables is:
The standard form for a linear equation is: ax + by + c = 0
Once we move all the variables and constants to one side, we get the standard form for a linear equation

Hope that helps!
276/5 is the answer after multiplying the two
Answer:
4x +3y=36
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of line is (y-y1) = m(x-x1)
(y+4) = (-4/3)(x-12)
3(y+4) = (-4)(x-12)
3y +12 = -4x + 48
4x+3y = 36
