Worth 20 points try to answer as many as possible tell me which one you are answering and tell me how you got the answer and your work 1) y varies inversely with x. if y= 40 when x= 16, find x when y= -5. 2) y varies directly with x. if y= 15 when x= -18, find y when x=1.6. 3) if x and y vary directly, as x decreases, what happens to the value of x? 4) if x and y vary directly, as y increases, what happens to the value of x?

1) x = (40/-5)*16 = -128
.. Since the variation is inverse, (old y)/(new y) = (new x)/(old x). Note the new/old ratios are upside down. Thus (new x) = (old x)*(old y)/(new y), as above.

2) y = (1.6/18)*-15 = -1 1/3
.. Since the variation is direct, (new y)/(old y) = (new x)/(old x)

3) x DECREASES
.. When variation is direct, both variables move in the same direction. Here, the problem statement tells you what happens to x! (Perhaps a typo?)

4) x INCREASES
.. See 3).

answer:
congruent segments
step-by-step explanation:
congruent segments. take a line, cut it in half, superipose one half over the other half; you'll have congruence.
