Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when y varies directly with x, we get the equation

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

where 'k' is called the 'constant of direct variation'.

We are given that x = -2 and y = -2

Thus,

The equation is:

y = kx

substituting x = -2 and y = -2

-2 = k(-2)

-2 = -2k

We can further simplify the equation to determine the value of 'k'

so

dividing the equation by -2

-2/-2 = -2k/-2

1 = k

Therefore, the value of k = 1

Thus, the equation becomes

y = kx

substituting k = 1 in the equation

y = (1)x

y = x

Therefore, an equation that relates x and y is:

y = x

HELP MEEE???? L'LL GIVE U A BRAINLIST???
Katarina [22]
Okay, don’t freak out. It’s more simple than it seems.
To find the area of this rectangle you use length x length
Let’s look for the length first
Use the bottom left and right points
(-2.25,-1) and (2.25,-1)
The length is a horizontal line so we use the x-coordinates. The distance from -2.25 to 2.25 is 4.5
Now let’s find the height. Let’s use the top left and bottom left coordinates.
(-2.25,4) and (-2.25,-1)
The height is a vertical line. The y-coordinates. Their difference is 5.
So 4.5 x 5 = 22.5

BRAINLIEST<br>Find the value of x in each of the following exercises:
ohaa [14]

The value of x is 120°

Explanation:

It is given that ABC is a straight line.

Also, ∠CBE = 20° and ∠CAF = 40°

We need to determine the value of ∠DBE

Let ∠DBE = x

Since, ∠CAF and ∠ABD are alternate interior angles.

By the alternate interior angles theorem, "if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are equal".

Thus, ∠CAF and ∠ABD are equal.

Hence, ∠CAF = ∠ABD = 40°

Since, we know that, the angles in a straight line add up to 180°, we have,

∠ABD + ∠DBE + ∠CBE = 180°

Substituting the values, we get,

40° + x + 20° = 180°

Adding, we have,

60° + x = 180°

Subtracting both sides by 60, we have,

x = 120°

Thus, the value of x is 120°
