If its talking about the temperature decreased it would be -11 but it's asking for an integer
Answer:
b. 
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale factor is the number by which one must multiply all sides in a triangle such that its sides are the same as another triangle. This only works in similar triangles (triangles where all of the angles between them are congruent or have the same measures).
Given your ordered pair you would assume a = 5, b = 2
Set up both equations
5 + 2 = 7
7 = 7 (the numbers are equal so this correct)
2(5) - 8 = 2
10 - 8 = 2
2 = 2 (the numbers are equal so this is also correct)
Because both equations work with the ordered pair they <em>are</em><span> the solution of the given system.</span>
