Answer:

The area is 90 sq. cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The variation can be represented as:

A\ \alpha\ l * w

Area = 60, when l = 4 and w = 3

Required

Find Area, when l = 6 and w = 3

Represent the variation as an equation

A = k(l * w)

Where k is the constant of variation.

Substitute 60 for A, 4 for l and 3 for w

60 = k * (4 * 3)

60 = k * 12

Make k the subject

\frac{60}{12} = k

5=k

k=5

To get the value of Area when l = 6 and w = 3.

Substitute 5 for k, 6 for l and 3 for w in A = k(l * w)

A = 5 * 6 * 3

A = 90

<em>The area is 90 sq. cm</em>

Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form that is parallel to the line x + 4y = 6 and passes through (-8, 5).
Kisachek [45]

Let us find the slope of the line : x+ 4y = 6

we can write it as 4y = -x +6

y = -(1/4) x + ( 6/4)

slope of the line y= mx + b is m

so here slope = m = -1/4

because we have to find a paraller line so the slope for required line would be same : -1/4

equation of the line having slope m and passing through x1 y1 is :

Y= m( X-x1) + y1

let's plug m= -1/4 x1= -8 and y1 = 5

Y= (-1/4) ( X- -8) + 5

Y= ( -1/4) ( x+8) + 5

Y= (-1/4)( X ) + (-1/4)( 8) + 5

Y= (-1/4) x + 3

Let us now work on second part :

given line is : 2x- 3y = 12

let's write it -3y = -2x +12

y= (-2/-3) x + ( 12/ -3)

Y= ( 2/3) x - 4

slope of this line is 2/3

the required line is perpendicular to it

so the slope of required line = negative resiprocal of this slope =

(-1/ slope of this line ) = -1/( 2/3) = -3/2

Equation of line with slope m= -3/2 and passing through x1= 2 and y1 = 6 is :

Y= m( X-x1) + y1

Y= ( -3/2) ( X- 2) + 6

Y= (-3/2) X - 2(-3/2) + 6

Y= ( -3/2 ) X + 9

Answer : for part 1 : Y= ( 2/3) x - 4

Answer for part 2 : Y= ( -3/2 ) X + 9
