Answer:
k = 5,
y = 5x
Step-by-step explanation:
If y is proportional to x,
y ∝ x
Then the equation will be
y = kx
Her k = proportionality constant.
Now we choose a point from the given table.
Let the point is (2, 10).
By putting the values of x and y in the equation,
10 = 2×k
k =
k = 5
This will be true for any point we choose from the table.
And the equation will be y = 5x
Given that ∠B ≅ ∠C.
to prove that the sides AB = AC
This can be done by the method of contradiction.
If possible let AB =AC
Then either AB>AC or AB<AC
Case i: If AB>AC, then by triangle axiom, Angle C > angle B.
But since angle C = angle B, we get AB cannot be greater than AC
Case ii: If AB<AC, then by triangle axiom, Angle C < angle B.
But since angle C = angle B, we get AB cannot be less than AC
Conclusion:
Since AB cannot be greater than AC nor less than AC, we have only one possibility. that is AB =AC
Hence if angle B = angle C it follows that
AB = AC, and AB ≅ AC.
