$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} k=constant\ of\\ \qquad variation \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \textit{we also know that }~~ \begin{cases} y=-4\\ x=8 \end{cases}\implies -4=k(8)\implies \cfrac{-4}{8}=k\implies -\cfrac{1}{2}=k \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill y=-\cfrac{1}{2}x~\hfill$

Answer:

k = -1/2

y= -1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx

We know y = -4 and x=8

-4 = k*8

Divide each side by 9

-4/8 = 8k/8

-1/2 =k

y= -1/2x

Given:

The figure of a circle.

To find:

The measure of arc AD and measure of each arc.

Solution:

The measure of arc is equal to the central angle of that arc.

The central angle of arc AD is 105 degrees. So,

$m(arc(AD))=105^\circ$

The central angle of arc BC is 35 degrees. So,

$m(arc(BC))=35^\circ$

The central angle of arc CD is 50 degrees. So,

$m(arc(CD))=50^\circ$

The central angle of a complete circle is 360 degrees. So,

$m(arc(AD))+m(arc(BC))+m(arc(CD))+m(arc(AB))=360^\circ$

$105^\circ+35^\circ+50^\circ+m(arc(AB))=360^\circ$

$190^\circ+m(arc(AB))=360^\circ$

$m(arc(AB))=360^\circ-190^\circ$

$m(arc(AB))=170^\circ$

Therefore, the measure of arc AD is 105°, the measure of arc BC is 35°, the measure of arc CD is 50° and the measure of arc AB is 170°
