Step-by-step explanation:
Let as revise the Pythagoras Theorem
In the right triangle ABC, where ∠B is a right angle (AC is the hypotenuse, Ab and BC are the legs of the right angle)
- (AC)² = (AB)² + (BC)²
- (AB)² = (AC)² - (BC)²
- (BC)² = (AC)² - (AB)²
If BD is drawn perpendicular to AC, we can use these rules
- (AB)² = AD × AC
- (BC)² = CD × AC
- (BD)² = AD × CD
- AB × BC = BD × AC
In Δ WYZ
∵ m∠WYZ = 90°
- By using Pythagoras Theorem
∴ (WZ)² = (WY)² + (YZ)²
∵ WY = 4 units
∵ YZ = 3 units
∵ WZ = c units
∴ c² = (4)² + (3)²
∴ c² = 16 + 9 = 25
- Take √ for both sides
∴ c = 5
In Δ XWZ
∵ m∠XWZ = 90°
∵ WY ⊥ XZ
- We can use the rule (WZ)² = ZY × ZX
∵ (WZ)² = ZY × ZX
∵ WZ = 5 units
∵ ZY = 3 units
∵ ZX = (3 + a) units
∴ (5)² = 3(3 + a)
∴ 25 = 9 + 3a
- Subtract 9 from both sides
∴ 16 = 3a
- Divide both sides by 3
∴ a =
The value of a is

Answer:
line c
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph representing a direct variation equation always passes through the origin. This could be graphs (a) or (c)
given y = x
with slope =
Since graph (a) slopes down from left to right it's slope is negative
Hence it is not graph (a) as the slope given in the equation is positive.
Hence the required graph is (c)
