the point of intersection on the graph are (3,-2)
Answer:
!. Scale factor = 5
2. Scale factor =
Step-by-step explanation:
scale =
1. To increase the numbers, let the scale factor be = 5. So that;
0.05 x 5 = 0.25
x 5 = 0.5 x 5 = 2.50
7 x 5 = 35.00
13 x 5 = 65.00
25 x 5 = 125.00
102 x 5 = 510.00
2. To decrease the numbers, let the scale factor be . So that;
0.05 x = 0.01
x = 0.5 x = 0.10
7 x = 1.40
13 x = 2.60
25 x = 5.00
102 x = 20.40
This is like the equation of a line where y is the area, x is the time, and 8.5% is your slope. So you have y=0.085x+b (reason why I switched 8.5% into 0.085 is because that is how you write a percent as a decimal).So now you need to find what b is. So you know orignally the area is 2400km^2 at x=0 years (this is what it is initially).If you plug those numbers in you have:2400=0.085(0)+bThen after solving for b, you can write your equation as:y=0.085x+(whatever you found b to be)Then plug 13 in for x and you have your answer. y=-.085(13)+2400
A=-3 and i think any value of 'a' makes those equation infinite solution because expression has same variable both side.
