Answer: m = -5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation for slope is rise over run, also known as:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
From the points (x, y), we can get all the variables we need.
(-1, -7) gives us x1 = -1 and y1 = -7
(-9, -2) gives us x2 = -9 and y2 = -2
If we plug all the values in, we get:
m = (-2 - (-7))/(-9 - (-1))
m = (-2 + 7)/(-9 + 1) the negatives cancel
m = (5)/(-8)
m = -5/8
The complete question in the attached figure
we know that
length side AB=8 units
length side DE=4 units
[ABC]=[DEF]*[scale factor]
then
[scale factor ]=[ABC]/[DEF]---------> 8/4--------> 2
the answer is
the scale factor for a dilation image of DEF to obtain ABC is 2
