Solve the inequality.<br> - 16 - 4x _<0<br> The solution is x

We have been given that a line $y=mx+b$ passes through the point (10, 3) and is parallel to the line $2x+5y=12$ . We are asked to find the y-intercept of the line.

First of all we will rewrite our given equation in slope-intercept form as:

$2x-2x+5y=12-2x$

$5y=-2x+12$

$\frac{5y}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{12}{5}$

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{12}{5}$

We know that slope of parallel lines is equal, so slope of parallel line to our given line would be $-\frac{2}{5}$ .

Now we will use slope-intercept form of equation to find y-intercept.

$y=mx+b$ , where,

m = Slope,

b = The y-intercept.

Let us substitute $m=-\frac{2}{5}$ and coordinates of point $(10,3)$ in above equation as:

$3=-\frac{2}{5}(10)+b$

$3=-2(2)+b$

$3=-4+b$

$3+4=-4+4+b$

$7=b$

Therefore, the y-intercept is 7 and our required equation would be $y=-\frac{2}{5}x+7$ .

Polygon ABCD is reflected and dilated to give polygon PQRS. The coordinates of the preimage are (2, 2), (6, 8), (12, 8), and (16

HACTEHA [7]

Answer: The scale factor of the dilation is 0.5.

Explanation:

It is given that ABCD is polygon which is reflected and dilated , then we get PQRS.

The vertices of ABCD are (2, 2), (6, 8), (12, 8), and (16, 2) respectively. The vertices of image PQRS are (11, 15),(9, 12), (6, 12), and (4, 15) respectively.

The reflection affects the coordinates but does not affect the length of the sides.

But when we talk about dilation it affects the length of sides according to the scale factor or a constant factor.

If a line segment AB is dilated by scale factor k then length of A'B' is k times length of AB.

$|A'B'|=k\times |AB|$ .... (1)
