Basically, this problem is saying that if you multiply x by 3, then you will get a number that is one less than y. So, if you switch that around a bit, then the problem is saying that if you subtract 3x from y, you'll get 1.
Your final answer should be y - 3x = 1.
Answer:
y = -4/5x + 7/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Use slope intercept form to find the equation for the line:
y=mx+b
y= -4/5x + 7/5
Scale factor is always (new/original)
so it depends which rectangle came first. if it started as large and was dilated to the smaller one, then the ratio is (.5/2.5) which simplifies to 1/5 or 0.2.
5 times 19-13 would equal 30 as 19-13 is 6 times 5 =30
