The product of the base and height of a rectangle is the area. can this statement be represented as a direct variation for the base and height? (hint: treat the area as a constant.)

Look at the formula A = b(h):  Area of a rect. = base times height.

In the unusual situation where you'd hold the area constant and vary b and h, then   A=bh could be re-written as

 A
= h    or  A/h = b.  In both cases we'd be working with inverse proportion,
 b                                   not direct proportion / variation.

Answer:

the image is given below

step-by-step explanation:

since the options are not given so we draw it from the equation

the given equation is

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

y = y² + 3x - 4

the above equation is a quadratic equation which will have two roots. if we draw the graph for it, it will look like this
