According to the graph, what is the value of the constant in the equation below?
a. 0.4
b. 1.3
c. 0.3
d. 2.2
Answer:
Choice A: 0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the the equation that relates the height and width by a constant:
[tex]height=\frac{constant}{width}[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]constant=height*width[/tex]
From the points given on the graph we find
[tex]constant = 0.5*0.8=0.4[/tex]
or
[tex]constant =1.6*0.25=0.4[/tex]
So the constant is 0.4.
