y = π x

The function rule that relates y (circumference) to x (diameter) is y = π x [pi × x]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x represents the diameter of the circle and y represents the circumference.

For a circle with radius r, circumference of the circle (y)equals,

y = 2πr ................................(1)

Diameter of a circle is twice the radius of the circle.

Assuming x as the diameter


x = 2* r = 2r ...........................(2)

Substituting (2) in (1), we get

y = π(2r) = πx ..............................................(3)

A function rule is an equation that determines the relation between a dependent variable and an independent variable. The relation between diameter of a circle and its circumference can be given as

Circumference = Pi × Diameter of circle

y = π × x

where π = 3.142
