This is clearly a reduction meaning the copy got smaller. This indicates that the scale factor IS less than 1 and the only answer choice less than 1 is the first statement.

We start with

and wish to write it as

First, pull 2 out from the first two terms:

Let’s look at what is in parenthesis. In the final form this needs to be a perfect square. Right now we have

and we can obtain -10x by adding -5x and -5x. That is, we can build the following perfect square:

The “problem” with what we just did is that we added to what was given. Let’s put the expression together. We have

and when we multiply that out it does not give us what we started with. It gives us

So you see our expression is not right. It should have a -53 but instead has a -3. So to correct it we need to subtract another 50.
We do this as follows:

which gives us the final expression we seek:

If you multiply this out you will get the exact expression we were given. This means that:
a = 2
d = -5
e = -103
We are asked for the sum of a, d and e which is 2 + (-5) + (-103) = -106

Yes . When you do the line test you go straight done and it doesn’t have 2 points on the same line .
Slope-intercept form looks like this: y = mx + b. For your equation, simply add 3x on both sides: y = 3x + 19.
