Answer:
b.
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale factor is the number by which one must multiply all sides in a triangle such that its sides are the same as another triangle. This only works in similar triangles (triangles where all of the angles between them are congruent or have the same measures).
we know that in direct variation as x increase y also increases.
in indirect variation x decreases y increase and vice versa.
in part a we have x at top (numerator ) and y at denominator it mean indirect variation (as x increases y decreases).
to find k we know that for indirect variation xy=k
if we rewrite the equation x=9/y we get xy=9
which mean k=9 .
in part b we have 4xy=20 if we simplify this equation we get
so here if we rewrite in terms of x.
we get x=5/y which represents indirect variation.
and we know xy=k
we have xy=5 .so k=5
