Answer:  The value of x is 12 units and the scale factor is \dfrac{4}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the triangle DEF is similar to the triangle RST.

We are to find the value of x and the scale factor of the dilation.

We know that the corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional.

So, we must have

\dfrac{DE}{RS}=\dfrac{EF}{ST}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{4}{16}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow x=3\times4\\\\\Rightarrow x=12.

The scale factor is given by

S=\dfrac{\textup{length of a side of the dilated triangle}}{\textup{length of the corresponding side of the original triangle}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow S=\dfrac{RS}{DE}\\\\\\\Rightarrow S=\dfrac{4}{3}.

Thus, the value of x is 12 units and the scale factor is \dfrac{4}{3}.

-8+2x=12x-3
Subtract 2x from both sides

-8=10x-3
Add 3 to both sides
-5=10x
Divide both sides by 10
-5/10 = x

-1/2= x

NEED HELP FINDING SLOPE OF THE LINE
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

slope = - \frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 2) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{-2-2}{2-(-4)} = \frac{-4}{2+4} = \frac{-4}{6} = - \frac{2}{3}
