The answer is Option A.
Scale Factors
If the Scale Factor IS 1, the polygon stays the SAME.
(If an equilateral triangle has a side length of 8 and the scale factor is 1, the sides will stay at 8)
If the Scale Factor is MORE THAN 1, the polygon's sides INCREASE depending on what the scale factor is.
(If a square has a side length of 3 and the scale factor is 4, the sides will increase to 12)
If the Scale Factor is LESS THAN 1, the polygon's sides DECREASE depending on what the scale factor is.
(If a square has a side length of 5 and the scale factor is 1/2, the side lengths will decrease down to 0.5)
Therefore each side length of the new triangle is 4 times shorter than the original (Option A)

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (1, 2) and (2, -1)?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

slope(m) = y2 -y1/ x2 - x1

m = -1 - 2/ 2 - 1

m = -3/1 ; m = -3

using the formula y -y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = -3( x -1)

y -2 = -3x +3

collect like terms

3 +2 = y + 3x

y + 3x = 5

y = -3x + 5( y = mx + c)

equation of the line= y = -3x + 5

Use distributive property to solve this problem 3(x+4)=36
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+4)=36

Divide each side by 3

3/3 (x+4)=36/3

x+4 = 12

Subtract 4 from each side

x+4-4 = 12-4

x = 8
