Answer:

1 : 36

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the scale factor, the dimensions must be in the same units.

Using the conversion

1 foot = 12 inches, then

15 feet = 15 × 12 = 180 inches, thus

scale factor = 5 : 180 ← divide both parts by 5

scale factor = 1 : 36

Write an equation in slope intercept form of the line passing through (5,-4) and is perpendicular to a line whose equation is -2

Sergeu [11.5K]

Rearrange the given equation in slope intercept form
$y = \frac{3x - 1}{ - 2} \\ y = - \frac{3}{2} x + \frac{1}{2}$
slope of the required line is
$- \frac{1}{ - \frac{3}{2} } = \frac{2}{3}$
equation is given by
$y - y1 = m(x - x1) \\ y - - 4 = \frac{2}{3} (x - 5) \\ y + 4 = \frac{2x}{3} - \frac{10}{3} \\ y = \frac{2x}{3} - \frac{10}{3} - 4 \\ y = \frac{2}{3} x - \frac{22}{3}$

A rectangular yard measuring

aliina [53]

The entire yard is 36x54 so you would draw a rectangle with those measurements, since there is a border of 3 you should draw another rectangle in the middle with measurements 6 less than the original. 30x48
since you are finding the area of the walk, you would find the larger area, then subtract the smaller rectangle

(36*54)-(30*48)
1944-1440
504 square feet of walk
