A. y= 4 / x

Proportionality or variation is state of relationship or correlation between two variables It has two types: direct variation or proportion which states both variables are positively correlation. It is when both the variables increase or decrease together. On the contrary, indirect variation or proportion indicates negative relationship or correlation. Elaborately, the opposite of what happens to direct variation. One increases with the other variables, you got it, decreases. This correlations are important to consider because you can determine and identify how two variables relates with one another. Notice x = y (direct), y=1/x (indirect)

From a point on a straight road, Marco and Celeste ride bicycles in the same direction. Marco rides at 14 mph and Celeste rides

Ksju [112]

their relative speed is 4 mph. so we put

4 mph = (25 mi)/x => x=25/4.

a river flows due south at 1.2 miles per hour. A swimmer attempting to cross the river heads due east swiming at 3 miles per hou

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The swimmer must move in the direction 338.2°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the river flows due south at 1.2 miles per hour and the swimmer swims 3 miles per hour due east of the river, since their directions are perpendicular, the resultant speed is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the two perpendicular directions.

The direction of the resultant speed is thus θ = tan⁻¹( vertical component/horizontal component) where vertical component = 1.2 mph due south = -1.2 mph and horizontal component = 3 mph due east = + 3 mph

So, θ = tan⁻¹(-1.2 mph/+ 3mph)

θ = tan⁻¹(-1.2/3)

θ = tan⁻¹(-0.4)

θ = -21.8°

θ = -21.8° + 360° (since we are in the fourth quadrant- between east and south)

θ = 338.2°

So, the swimmer must move in the direction 338.2°.
