Answer:

a. 3.5 inches by 4.5 inches

b. 1.5 inches

c. Divide 48 inches by 2 and multiply 1 inch by 12 to get a scale of 1 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale is a representative fraction showing the relationship between length on a drawing and actual length.

i.e scale = \frac{length on a drawing}{actual length}

 scale = 1 inch : 4 feet

a. The dimensions in the drawing can be determined as;

1 inch : 4 feet implies an inch on the drawing equates 4 feet on actual length.

\frac{14}{4} = 3.5 inches

\frac{18}{4} = 4.5 inches

Dimensions on drawing is 3.5 inches by 4.5 inches.

b. The length of the sofa is 6 feet, its length on the drawing is;

\frac{6}{4} = 1.5 inches

c. To enlarge the scale so as to double the dimensions of the drawing, we have;

12 inches = 1 feet

4 feet = 4 × 12 = 48 inches

given scale = 1 inch : 48 inches

Thus, divide 48 inches by 2 and multiply 1 inch by 12.

scale = 12 inch : 24 inch

scale = 1 : 2

To double the dimensions of the drawing, the scale required is 1 : 2. This implies that a unit measure on the drawing is synonymous to 2 measures on the actual reading.

The sum of two numbers is "-1" One number is 12 more than the other one. Find the numbers.

Answer:

x = 5.5

y = - 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the numbers = x

Let the other number = y

x + y = - 1

x = y + 12    Put the second equation into the first one

y + 12 + y = - 1       Subtract 12 from both sides

y + y = - 1 - 12        Combine both left and right sides

2y = - 13                Divide by 2

2y/2 = - 13/1

y = - 6.5

x + y = - 1

x - 6.5 = - 1            Add 6.5 to both sides

x = 5.5

What is the equation of the function in slope-intercept form?
Rasek [7]
To write this equation, you need use the formula y=mx+b.

m represents the slope and b represents the y intercept.

The y intercept is the point where the line touches the y axis. In this case, the y-intercept is 1.

The slope is just rise over run from one coordinate to another. The slope is 2/-1 which could be simplified as -2. The slope just means that we are going up 2 and left 1 to get to a new coordinate.

The equation is y=-2x+1

Have a good day! :)
