Answer:

y = - $\frac{24}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the quantities vary inversely then the equation relating them is

y = $\frac{k}{x}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition x = 4 when y = - 6

k = yx = - 6 × 4 = - 24

y = - $\frac{24}{x}$ ← equation of variation

Which triangles are congruent by AAS?

netineya [11]

For two triangles to be congruent by AAS:
1- Two angles in the first triangle must be equal to two angles in the second triangle
2- A non included side in the first triangle is equal to a non included side in the second triangle

Now, let's check our options. We will find that:
For the two triangles UTV and ABC:
angle T = angle A
angle V = angle C
TU (non-included between angles T & V) = AB (non-included between angles A & C)

Therefore, we can conclude that:
Triangles ABC and UTV are congruent by AAS
