What is the constant of variation for y=1/6x?

1 answer:

6 0

The equation for Direct Variation is y =kx, where k is the constant, so the constant being multiplied by x is (1/6). This means that k = (1/6).

1. $m\angle BAC=m\angle CAD,\ m\angle ACB=m\angle ADC=90^{\circ}$ , then $m\angle ABC=m\angle ACD$ and triangles ADC and ACB are similar by AAA theorem.

2. The ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles is constant, so

$\dfrac{AC}{AB}= \dfrac{AD}{AC}$ .

3. Knowing lengths you could state that $\dfrac{b}{c}= \dfrac{e}{b}$ .

4. This ratio is equivalent to $b^2=ce$ .

5. $m\angle ABC=m\angle CBD,\ m\angle ACB=m\angle CDB=90^{\circ}$ , then $m\angle BAC=m\angle BCD$ and triangles BDC and BCA are similar by AAA theorem.

6. The ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles is constant, so

$\dfrac{BC}{BD}= \dfrac{AB}{BC}$ .

7. Knowing lengths you could state that $\dfrac{a}{d}= \dfrac{c}{a}$ .

8. This ratio is equivalent to $a^2=cd$ .

9. Now add results of parts 4 and 8:

$b^2+a^2=ce+cd$ .

10. c is common factor, then:

$b^2+a^2=c(e+d)$ .

11. Since $e+d=c$ you have $a^2+b^2=c\cdot c=c^2$ .

Write the equation of each line using the given information.

Leni [432]

a) x – 2y + 6 = 0 b) x + y = 1 c) y = 1 d) y = -3x + 8

<h3>Solution:</h3>

a. The points (-4,1) and (2,4) both lie on the line

The general line equation on which (a, b) and (c, d) lies is:

$y-\mathrm{b}=\frac{d-b}{c-a}(x - a)$

Here the given points are (a, b) = (-4, 1) and (c, d) = (2, 4)

Thus the required equation is:

$y-1=\frac{4-1}{2-(-4)}(x-(-4))$

On solving we get,

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow y-1=\frac{3}{2+4}(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow y-1=\frac{3}{6}(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2(y-1)=1(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2 y-2=x+4} \\\\ {\rightarrow x-2 y+6=0}\end{array}$

b.) m= -1 and the point (2, -1) lies on the line

The equation of line in point slope form is y – b = m(x – a)

where m is slope and (a, b) is a point on it

Here m = -1 and (a, b) = (2, -1)

Thus the required equation is:

y – (-1) = -1(x - 2)

y + 1 = -x + 2

y = -x + 2 -1

y = -x + 1

c. )It has the same slope as y = 5 and passes through (1, 1)

our line has same slope with y = 5, then our equation would be y = k and it passes through (x, y) = (1, 1) so, then by substitution

1 = k

k =1

Then our equation will be y = k

y = 1

d. ) m= -3 and it has a y-intercept of (0, 8)

line equation in slope intercept form is y = mx + b where m is slope and b is y – intercept.

Then, our equation will be y = -3x + 8

We took y- intercept = 8 as it is the value of y when x = 0
