Answer:
y =
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y varies directly as x then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = 7 when x = 3
k = =
, thus
y = x ← equation of variation
When x = 7, then
y = × 7 =
Answer: No, your friend is not correct. You cannot use a similarity transformation to turn a square into a rectangle. Here's why:
1) If you used a similarity transformation, the size and position of the shape would change, but the shape itself remains the same.
2) Squares and rectangles are NOT similar.* Referring to the first point I listed, if the shapes are not similar, then a similarity transformation cannot be used to turn one shape into another.
<em>*Similar means that the edges are proportional to one another, such as a square with sides of 4 meters vs a square with sides of 2 meters: the sides are different lengths, but the shape is the same.</em>
I hope this helps! Please feel free to comment below if you need any clarification. Have a good day, and good luck on your assignment. :)
