The length of the rectangle is = 72 cm
The width of the rectangle is = 56 cm
Area of the rectangle is =
= cm²
As given, the other rectangle has the same area as this one, but its width is 21 cm.
Let the length here be = x
Hence, length is 192 cm.
We can see that as width decreases, the length increases if area is constant and when length decreases then width increases if area is constant.
So, in the new rectangle,constant of variation=k is given by,
or
Hence, the constant of variation is
Answer:
2y = x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the graph, we can see from one point to the next (from right to left), the x-value rises by 2 and the y-value by 1;
From this we can work out the gradient between two points using the formula, i.e. the change/difference in y divided by the change/difference in x:
Joining the points gives a straight line, which means a constant gradient of ¹/₂
Use the line equation formula to get the function:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
m = ¹/₂
x₁ = 0
y₁ = 1
y - 1 = ¹/₂.(x - 0)
y - 1 = ¹/₂.x
2y - 2 = x
2y = x + 2
