Answer:
Scale factor: 1.666
x: 10
Step-by-step explanation:
These are two similar triangles, the triangle MNO has been scaled off triangle FGH.
To calculate the scale/dilation factor, you take 2 measurements of a similar side and you calculate the ratio.
Since we have the measurements for segments GH and NO, and these are similar sides, we'll use that to calculate the scale/dilation factor of MNO over FGH.
Dilation factor is 5/3... or 1.666
if you're also looking for value of x, it would be 6 * 1.666 = 10

Answer:
equation: y = 4x
graph is attached
Step-by-step explanation:
Let y represent the cost of the peaches in dollars. Let x represent their weight in pounds. Then the relation between the two variables is ...
cost = (cost per pound) × (pounds)
y = 4x
__
This graphs as a line through the origin with a slope of 4. In the attached, the x- and y-axes have different scales so more of the graph can be seen.
