Question

ANSWER ASAP Using the graph, find the value of the constant in the equation below. If necessary, round your answer to one decimal place.

Please explain how to do this as well if you can :)

Answer 1

Explanation:

From the graph there are four points for which, the value of the constant has to be determined.

For, (0.5,1.5)

Height=1.5 and width=0.5, therefore

Height=constant×width

`1.5=constant{*}0.5`

`constant=(1.5)/(0.5)=3`

For, (2,6)

Height=6 and width=2

Height=constant×width

`6=constant{*}2`

`constant=3`

For (3,9)

Height=9 and width=3

Height=constant×width

`9=constant{*}3`

`constant=3`

For (5,15)

Height=15 and width is 5

Height=constant×width

`15=constant{*}5`

`constant=3`

Hence, the value of constant is 3
