The new width is 16.6666666667 inches, which can be rounded to 16.7. 

Width:     5           ?
Height:    6          20

We know that based on the information provided, the new height is 20 inches.

So, in order to solve, you can cross multiply (5 x 20), which would be 100. Then

divide by 6, to get 16.6666666667 or 16.7.

What are the scale factor of ABC dilated to XYZ plz help
jekas [21]
<h3>Answer:  B) 2/3</h3>

====================================

Explanation:

The order is important for ABC and XYZ so we can see what letters pair up.

  • A pairs with X since they are the first letters
  • B pairs with Y since they are the second letters
  • C pairs with Z since they are the third letters

Based on that, we can see that AB pairs with XY as they are the first two letters of ABC and XYZ respectively.

Divide the length XY over AB and reduce

XY/AB = 10/15 = 2/3

We could also divide XZ over AC

XZ/AC = 14/21 = 2/3

and we get the same ratio

Line a passes through that point (-8,-7) and has a slope of 5/8. Choose the equation that best represents A
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

y = 5/8 x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the slope of the line, m=5/8, which passes through the point (-8,-7).

Let the equation of the line be y=mx+c

where m is the slope of the line and c is a constant.

As m=5/8, so the equation of line become

y= 5/8x+c

As the line passes through the point (-8,-7), so putting y= -7 and x= -8, we have

-7 = 5/8(-8)+c

-7 = -5 + c

c= -7 + 5

c= -2

On putting the value of c, the equation of line become

y=5/8 x -2

Hence, the equation of the line is y = 5/8 x -2.

Please help this is hard math
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

y=-4x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

  • First we find the slope of the line AB passing through the point (2,0)
  • line AB is perpendicular to the line y=\frac{1}{4}x-3 , this equation is slope intercept for, which is y=mx+b so our m or slope is \frac{1}{4}
  • Since the slope of line AB is perpendicular to m=\frac{1}{4} then we use the equation slope of line1\times slopeofline2=-1 , so what do we multiply \frac{1}{4} by to get -1? -4 right, so that's the slope of line AB with the point (2,0)
  • Now line CD is parallel to line AB, that means it has the same slope as AB, so slope of CD is -4
  • So we make the equation y-y_1=m(x-x_1) so m= -4 and our point is (-1,6)
  • y-(6)=-4(x-(-1)\\y-6=-4x-4\\y=-4x-4+6\\y=-4x+2 thats the equation of line side CD

NeTakaya

Answer:

5.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Because CD corresponds to BC, the scale factor from triangle ABC to triangle CDE, is 7/8. Now, DE corresponds to AB, so to get DE, we must multiply the value of AB by 7/8. 6 times 7/8 is 5.25, and rounding to the nearest tenth of a foot, the value of DE is 5.3.
