Answer:

1:32

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor is given as the model to actual object. Both the model and actual dimensions must be in the same unit. Given model length of 18 inch and actual train length of 48 ft, we first convert train length to inches. 1 ft =12 incheshence 48 ft will be 48*12=576 inches

Scale factor, s= \frac {m}{a}=\frac {18}{576}=\frac {1}{32}=1:32

Therefore, the scale factor is 1:32 after simplification.

What is the value of the y coordinate of any point on the x axis?
Leona [35]

The value of the y coordinate of any point on the x axis is always 0.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, the co ordinate of any point is (a,b) .

It means, the distance of the point from x-axis is 'b' and distance from y-axis is 'a'.

Now if the point lies on the x-axis, that means the distance of the point from x-axis will be 0. Thus, the value of 'b' will be 0.

So, the value of the y coordinate of any point on the x axis is always 0.
