Answer:
First lets find the solutions to each inequality.
-2x
10 and -2x>10 (divide both sides by -2 to solve)
x
-5 and x<-5
x
-5 tell us that x could be -5 or less.
x<-5 tells us that x could be -6 or less.
The first one is less than or equal to which tells you that there is a possibility that the number is shows is could be an answer
Hope this helps ;)
Scale factor is always (new/original)
so it depends which rectangle came first. if it started as large and was dilated to the smaller one, then the ratio is (.5/2.5) which simplifies to 1/5 or 0.2.
1 and 2 I hope this help you :)
