Answer:

Option A is correct.

The constant of variation is, -\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The Direct variation says that:

if a vary directly to b then, the equation is of the form: a = kb where k is the constant of variation.

Given: if y varies directly as x.

By definition of direct Variation:

y = kx  where is the constant of variation.

It is also given that: y = -3 and x =2

Solve for k;

-3 = 2k

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

k = -\frac{3}{2}

Therefore, the constant of variation is, -\frac{3}{2}

Solve this equation for x by graphing.<br> -4x - 1 = 5^x + 4 <br> Please help! Asap
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

-1.28

Step-by-step explanation:

You would put these two equations into a graphing ccalculator:

y = -4x - 1

and

y= 5^x + 4

Wherver they intersect is your answer.

These two happen to intersect at (-1.28,4.13)

Since the equation has x-values, you would give the first number (x-coordinate) as your answer.

A ____ of a triangle is the perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side or to the line that contains the opposite s
blagie [28]

Answer:

Altitude

Step-by-step explanation:

An altitude of the triangle is the line segment from a vertex to the opposite side and perpendicular to the opposite side. The orthocenter will not always be inside the triangle. This is why the orthocenter is the point of concurrency of the lines containing the altitudes rather than just the altitudes.
