Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of dilation implies that when a figure is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2, the length of the sides of the image can be obtained by multiplying the sides of the original figure/object by 1/2.

For example, if the length of a side of a segment is 6 and is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2. The length of the image segment will be 6/2 or 3/2. i.e. the original length 6 of the segment is multiplied by 1/2 to get the image segment 3/2.

Other important thing to consider is when the scale factor to be multiplied is less than 1, than the image will be smaller, but if the scale factor to be multiplied is greater than 1, than the image will be larger.

Now, coming towards the question and lets dilate the sides of the figure A by a scale factor of 1/2.

The length of the side 5 in will have its image with length 2.5 in.

i.e. 5/2= 2.5

The length of the side 2 in will have its image with length 1 in.

i.e. 2/2 = 1

The length of the side 4 in will have its image with length 2 in.

i.e. 4/2 = 2

The length of the side 1 in will have its image with length 0.5 in.

i.e. 1/2 = 0.5

Therefore, option C is correct.

Answer: k ≤ -4 or k ≥ $\frac{4}{3}$

Explanation:

| 3k + 4 | ≥ 8

3k + 4 ≥ 8 or 3k + 4 ≤ -8

-4 -4 -4 -4

3k ≥ 4 or 3k ≤ -12

÷3 ÷3 ÷3 ÷3

k ≥ $\frac{4}{3}$ or k ≤ -4

Describe a real-world situation that the graph could represent. Then describe the possible values for each variable

Answer:

$Speed=distance/time$ i.e. relation between speed-distance-time is one such situation that can be modeled using graph

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many real world examples that can be modeled using graph. Graphs are represented on co-ordinate planes, so any real world example that can be represented by use of linear equation can be represented onto a graph.

One such example, is speed-distance-time relation. Uniform speed can be represented on a graph as shown in figure.

So, the equation for speed is represented by equation as follows:

$Speed=distance/time$

So, if we take distance on y axis and time on x axis with points as (distance,time)

(0,0) ==> $v=0/0=0$
