Answer:

The solution is (8, -1).

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = 12..........(1)

y = 1/4x – 3 ..........(2)

Substitute y = x - 3 in equation (1):

2x + 4(1/4x - 3) = 12

2x + x - 12 = 12

3x = 24

x = 8.

Now substitute for x in equation (2):

y = 1/4 *8 - 3

y = -1.

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle ABC with vertices A(0, 0), B(0, 4), and C(6, 0) is dilated to form a triangle A'B'C' with vertices A′(0, 0), B′(0, 10), and C′(15, 0). If the center of dilation is point A or A' (the origin), then

$\dfrac{A'B'}{AB}=\dfrac{A'C'}{AC}.$
