It is nonsense. Penny claims she is going to to make it LARGER than life size. Therefore the fraction would have to be improper. The fraction stated would be making something SMALLER than life size.

It would be nonsense, as if the beetle were at normal size, then it would be considered 1/1 as a scale. If you wanted to increase it, you would increase the numerator.

What is an equation of the line that passes through (2,2) and is parellel to the line y=7x
laila [671]

Answer:

Therefore, equation of the line that passes through (2,2) and is parellel to the line y=7x is y=7x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a line y=7x

To Find:

Equation of line passing through ( 2, 2) and is parellel to the line y=7x

Solution:

y=7x     ...........Given

Comparing with,

y=mx

Where m =slope

We get

Slope = m = 7

We know that parallel lines have Equal slopes.

Therefore the slope of the required line passing through (2 , 2) will also have the slope = m = 7.

Now the equation of line in slope point form given by

(y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})

Substituting the points and so we will get the required equation of the line,

(y-2)=7(x-2)=7x-14\\\\y=7x-12......Equation\ of\ line

Therefore, equation of the line that passes through (2,2) and is parellel to the line y=7x is y=7x-12
