First of all, move all terms to the same side:

You can factor an x, which means that
is a solution:

This expression is further factorizable if the quadratic equation has any solution. Using the quadratic formula, we can find that they are
So, we have

1)To find a Scale factor of Dilation, about the origin
We have
Pre-mage Image
(x, y) k(x,y)
For example
Pre-image Image
(2,4) 2(2,4) = (4,8)
2)When it's not about the origin then we have to count from the Projection Point
Having said this, ex
Which is not a step
a)
We can divide the x value of the image over the pre-image, not the way around.
In the example, I've given if we divide the pre-image over the image value we would have found a scale factor of 1/2. In the example, The scale factor was the inverse: 2
First thing First. You must find have a common denominator. If you want to find it then you do this
3: 3 6 9 12 15 18 21
7: 7 14 21 28
Once you found a number they have in common (21) You do this next
3/7 * 3/3 = 9/21
2/3 * 7/7 = 14/21
Now the next thing you do is subtract your numerators but not the denominators
14-9=5
5/12
you cant simplified so your done! Hope this helps!!!! <span />
Answer: y - 4x = 9 <em>in standard form is</em> -y + 4x = -9
