the formula for area of a rectangle is
Area = length x width
since both the length and the width of the rectangle lie on the same x and y axis, we can find the distance between the width and the distance between the length by subtracting
(-4,9) (-4,-3)
these points lie on the same x axis, so they create a vertical line
9-(-3) = 12
12 units is the distance between them
(-4,-3) (-1,-3)
these points lie on the same y axis, so they create a horizontal line
-1-(-4) = 3
3 units is the distance between them
now that we have the length and the width, we can find the area
A = 12 x 3
A = 36 units²
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
A direct variation is of the form
y = kx
We know x and y so we can find k
81 = k *27
Divide each side by 27
81/27 = 27k/27
3=k
The constant of variation is 3
Compute successive differences of the terms.
If they are all the same, the sequence is arithmetic and the common difference is the difference you have found.
If successive pairs of differences have the same ratio, the sequence is geometric and the common ratio is the ratio you have determined.
Example of arithmetic sequence:
1, 3, 5, 7
Successive differences are 3-1 = 2, 5-3 = 2, 7-5 = 2. All the differences are 2, which is the common difference of the sequence.
Example of geometric sequence:
1, -3, 9, -27
Successive differences are -3-1 = -4, 9-(-3) = 12, -27-9 = -36. These are not the same, so the sequence is not arithmetic. Ratios of successive pairs of differences are 12/-4 = -3, -36/12 = -3. These are the same, so the sequence is geometric with common ratio -3.
