Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
It is usually sufficient to look at one section of the graph to answer a question like this. Often the best choice is the section that has a solid dot at the end of the curve. Here, that is the right section.
The left end of the right section is at x=-2, so that part of the function is defined for x ≥ -2. The line to the right has a positive slope, so the coefficient of x will be positive.
Only one answer choice has a positive x-coefficient for x ≥ -2.


Therefore, the answer is D: 20,000
-3*-5 = 15

Scale factor is defined as a number which multiplies or scales some quantity.
The shape of the figure remains same, the image becomes larger or smaller.
If the scale factor is greater than one, then the image is enlarged.
If the scale factor is less than 1 but greater that 0, then the image becomes smaller.
In the above image, AD = 2 units.
It's corresponding side PS = 3 units
Similarly AB = 1 unit and PQ = 1.5 units
Hence , 1 * 1.5 = 1.5
2*1.5 = 3
Hence, the scale factor of the given image is 1.5 ... Answer
