Given:
y varies directly with x
y = 8 when x = -6
what is the value of y when x = -2?
y = kx
we need to get the constant of variation.
8 = k(-6)
8/-6 = k
4/-3 = k or - 1 1/3
y = -4/3 (-2)
y = (-4*-2) / 3
y = 8 / 3
y = 2 2/3 OR 2.67
The correct answer is Choice B. y = -1.33x ; 2.67
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of triangle= ½ ×base ×height
Since the length of the base and the height of the triangle is equivalent to the length of a side of the square, s,
area of triangle
= ½ ×s ×s
= ½s²
Given that the area of the triangle is 12.5 units²,
½s²= 12.5
Multiply both sides by 2:
s²= 12.5(2)
s²= 25
Square root both sides:

s= 5 units
(reject negative value since s > 0)
