When using an indirect proof, we show that the negation of the desired conclusion leads to a contradiction

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The application of an indirect proof is seen whenever we make assumptions about a given condition/statement. i.e. assuming what we are about to proof is false before proving it to be true

The indirect proof method involves some steps  which are

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3

anser is a
