Hello,

y=k*x ; if x=1.2,y=12
==>12=k*1.2==>k=12/1.2==>k=10

From the question, we now that y is 12 when x is 1.2

in order to find out the constant of variation for this relation, we just need to substitute it to :

y = k x

12 = k 1.2

k = 12/1.2

k = 10

hope this helps

The measures of the three of the interior angles of a quadrilateral are 60°, 110°, and 90°. What is the measure of the fourth an

irina [24]

The answer is C. 100 because the total measure of a quadrilateral is 360. When you add up the 3 interior angle measures, it adds up to 260. Then you subtract 360-260 to get 100 as the fourth angle measure. Hope that this helped!

The vertex of this parabola is at (2, -4). When the y-value is -3, the x-value is -3. What is the coefficient of the squared ter

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The squared term is 1/25

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabola equation in the vertex form is

$y = a \times (x - h)^2 + k$

where point (h,k) is the vertex and a is the squared term. In this case h = 2 and k = -4. On the other hand, we know that y = -3 and x = -3 are in the parabola. Replacing these values in the formula gives

$-3 = a \times (-3 - 2)^2 - 4$
