Question

According to the graph, what is the value of the constant in the equation

below?
Height = Constant - Width

Answer 1

The answer is 2 because the height is 5 and the width is 2.5 so it is 5/2.5= /

Answer 2

B) 0.5

Explanation:

The given formula is:

Height = Constant * Width

You may now choose any point on the graph (the horizontal line represents a point for width, and the vertical line represents a point for height) and put it into the specified formula. Let's test the two supplied points (2, 1):

Now, 2 is on the horizontal line, so we put it in for width, and 1 is on the vertical line, so we plug that in for height. When we do it, we get:

1 = C * 2

(In the expression above we need to solve for C, and we can do that by dividing both sides by 2)

C= 1/2 = 0.5

So, the answer is 0.5 or option B.
