Answer:

Scale Factor is: When you divide the old shape by the new shape (explanation is here)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have 2 shapes (lets say Y is the old shape and F is the new shape) you would divide the old shape (Y) by the new shape (F)

Another example: lets say shape F is 12 cm and shape Y is 7 cm (F being the old and Y being the new shape) you would divide 12 and 7 to get the answer to that problem

Which statement accurately describes how to perform a 90° clockwise rotation of point A (1,4) around the origin?

labwork [276]

I was expecting a choice that said A(1,4) is in the first quadrant so 90 degrees clockwise is fourth quadrant. For perpendicularity we reverse the coordinates, negating one of them. For the fourth quadrant, it must be the y coordinate that's negative. We end up at A'(4,-1).

The answer is the second choice: create a circle with the center at the origin. The image of A' will be on the circle, 90 degrees clockwise from A.
