Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the ratio of the corresponding sides to get the scale factor so for this equation let's use the hypotenuse.

The length of the hypotenuse of the larger triangle is 12 units and the smaller triangle's hypotenuse is 4 so 4/12 is the scale factor.

However 4/12 can be simplified down to 1/3.

Since the smaller triangle has been flipped upside down the scale factor is negative so the final answer is -1/3

Which best explains how you know that P(2, 7) is on the same line as Q(7, 4) and R(12, 1)?

Helen [10]

Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

The best explanation is noticing that in order to get from the point R (12, 1) to the point Q (7, 4) we move 5 units to the left and 3 units up. And to go from point Q (7, 4) to point P (2, 7) we do exactly the same: move 5 units to the left and 3 units up. That means that these points are all connected via the same rate of change: - 3/5, which is in fact the slope of the line the three points belong to.

The answer is 2cm

$8 \times 10 {}^{ - 3} \times 250 = 2000 \times 10 {}^{ - 3} \\ = 2$
or:
$8 \times {10}^{ - 3} \times 250 = 0.008 \times 250 \\ = 2$
