1/4

-4

4

3. The perimeter of a square is directly proportional to the length of its sides.

A. Write an equation to represent this direct variation. Make sure to define your variables.

B. In complete sentences, use a specific example to justify your equation from part A. Include a drawing in your answer.

(the picture is for question number two)

1. m(x) = 1.5x

2. -4

3. a) p = 4x  , b) In explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If you look at what the relationship is between each x value and each m(x) value you can see that you multiply by 1.5 each time. So you take x and multiply it by 1.5 to make m(x) - we can then write this as : x*1.5=m(x) or m(x)=1.5x

2. To find the constant of proportionality you need to think about the equation of the graph being y=mx+c - this graph goes through the origin so c=0 and then to find m we need to look at the slope which can be calculated by looking at the change in y divided by the change in x. For every increase of one in the x direction the graph decreases by 4 in the y direction.

So the change in y = -4 (a decrease of 4)

the change in x = 1

-4/1 = -4

3. To find the perimeter you add up all the sides.  In a square all the sides are the same length (we can call this length x) - the perimeter would then be p = x+x+x+x = 4x

given that triangle abc is transformed two times to get triangle

a"b"c"

first abc is transformed in to a'b'c' as follows:

the coordinates of a are (1,-1) and transformed into a'(-1,1)

similarly b (4,-2) became b'(-4,2) and

c(7,-2) became c'(-7,2)

i.e. (x,y) becomes (-x,-y)

this is nothing but reflection about a point here origin.

thus first transformation is reflection on the origin.

next is exactly shifting 3 units down

your answer would be b
