1 foot = 12 inches
42 feet = (42 x 12) = 504

The factor of (6 inches / 42 feet) is (6 inches / 504 inches) = 1 / 84 .

The scale factor is not in inches.  It's a factor, and has no units.
A 1-ft model would represent a real 84 feet.
A 1-meter model would represent a real 84 meters.
A 1-yard model would represent a real 84 yards.

A line with an undefined slope is a vertical line parallel to the y- axis, with equation

x = c ( c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through )

The line passes through (8, - 2) with x- coordinate 8 , thus

x = 8 ← equation of line

Solve for y. <br><br> PLEASE HELP ME THANK YOU
melomori [17]

It's an equilateral triangle. The angles have measure 60°.

Therefore we have the equations:

6x + 6 = 60        <em>subtract 6 from both sides</em>

6x = 54     <em>divide both sides by 6</em>

x = 9

5y + 10 = 60      <em>subtract 10 from both sides</em>

5y = 50      <em>divide both sides by 5</em>

y = 10
