Figure A is a scale image of figure B. Figure A maps to figure B with a scale factor of 2 1/2. What is the value of x? PLEASE AN

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$x = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure B = 2½ the size of figure A

One side of figure B is given as 5, therefore, 5 = 2½ of x in figure A.

Thus, $5 = 2\frac{1}{2}*x$

Solve for x

$5 = \frac{5}{2}*x$

$5*2 = \frac{5x}{2}*2$

$10 = 5x$

$\frac{10}{5} = \frac{5x}{5}$

$2 = x$

$x = 2$

Write an equation in point slope form for the line that passes through one of the following pairs of points. You may choose the

wolverine [178]

(5,1)(-3,4)
slope = (4 - 1) / (-3 - 5) = -3/8

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -3/8
(5,1)...x1 = 5 and y1 = 1
now we sub
y - 1 = -3/8(x - 5) <=== point slope form

y - 1 = -3/8(x - 5)
y - 1 = -3/8x + 15/8
y = -3/8x + 15/8 + 1
y = -3/8x + 15/8 + 8/8
y = -3/8x + 23/8 <=== slope intercept form

y = -3/8x + 23/8
3/8x + y = 23/8 ...multiply everything by 8
3x + 8y = 23 <==== standard form
