Answer:

y = ¼(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Before solving the question, let's look at one example,

  • A is directly proportional to B means A∝B which also means A=kB where k is a constant.

In this case, y is directly proportional to (x-4) means that y∝(x-4) which can also mean that y=k(x-4).

Hence, to find the value of k, substitute x=16, y=3 into y=k(x-4),

3=k(16-4)

k=3/12

k=1/4

After that, substitute the k value into the equation,

<h3>y = ¼(x-4)</h3>

If B1 = 3 m and B2 = 4m and the area is 7 m squared, what is the height?
Rudiy27
The height is 1, because it's A=(b1 + b2)*h, the equation is this now 7=3 + 4)*h, you add 3 + 4 then that will give you 7, so now it should look like this 7=7*h, you do a fraction line under the 7 and 7*h each, and put a 7 as the denominator, so it kind of looks like this now 7 = 7*h
                                                                      __   __
                                                                        7    7      then you cancel the 7*h which leaves you to just h, so 7 divided by 7 will give you 1 so it looks like 1=h, PHEW
