Answer:
y =
x²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y and x² are directly proportional then the equation relating them is
y = kx² ← k is the constant of proportion
When x = 2
y = k × 2² = 4k
When x = 5
y = k × 5² = 25k
Then
25k - 4k = 20 ( difference between values is 20 )
21k = 20 ( divide both sides by 21 )
k = 
y =
x² ← equation of proportion
Once you have the points they make a 3-4-5 triangle. The two legs are 3 and 4, so the hypotenuse has to be 5. Or you could use the pythagorean theorem a² + b² = c² 3² + 4² = c² 25 = c² c = 5
then find area
A=1/2bh
1/2(3*4)
6
An equation with a difference of 6 would be 12-6=6
The answer to this problem is -20
