Answer:

The proportionality constant is 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the proportionality constant

Let us view the two points as being points on a line

The constant of proportionality will be the slope of the line that connects the two points

Mathematically, we can use the formula for the slope of a line

We have this as;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(x1,y1) = (20,8)

(x2,y2)= (25,10)

m = (10-8)/(25-20) = 2/5

avanturin [10]

Answer:

B. No

$Cos \ \theta\neq Cos (90-\theta)\textdegree$

Step-by-step explanation:

-A right angle triangle has two complimentary acute angles and one right angle.

- $\theta$ is usually one of the acute angles and is equivalent to 90º minus it's complimentary acute angle.

-Complimentary angles add up to 90º.

#For complimentary angles:

$Sin \ \theta=Cos \ (90-\theta)\textdegree\\\\Cos \ \theta=Sin(90-\theta)\textdegree\\\\\therefore Cos \ \theta\neq Cos (90-\theta)\textdegree$

The two acute angles cannot have the same Cosine value.

Hence, she's not correct.
