Step-by-step explanation:

a general line equation is

y = ax + b

the original line is

y = 3/5 x + 10

the factor of x is always the slope (inclination of the line).

it is "y change/x change".

the slope of a perpendicular line (angle of 90°) is turning the slope of the original line upside-down and flips the sign.

so, it is -5/3.

we use the point information to get the right "b" for our new line :

-5 = -5/3 × 15 + b

-5 = -5×5 + b

-5 = -25 + b

b = 20

so, the perpendicular line equation going through (15, -5) is

y = -5/3 x + 20

12.38 in expanded form

vitfil [10]

12.38 in expanded form is write like:-

10 + 2 + .3 + .08 = 12.38

To write a number in expanded form just means to write the number in a layout and when you add it up it will become the number you needed to write in expanded form.

So, 12.38 written in expanded form is:- 10 + 2 + .3 + 0.8

The single transformation from shape A to B is: dilate A by 1/2, followed by a 180 degrees rotation

<h3>How to determine the transformation?</h3>

From the figure, we have:

Shape A is twice the size of shape B
Both shapes can be rotated by 180 degrees in either direction to map onto the other, after dilation.

This means that:

The scale of dilation from shape A is:

k = 1/2

Hence, the single transformation from shape A to B is: dilate A by 1/2, followed by a 180 degrees rotation
