Triangle ABC has vertices A(5, 3) , B(3, 7) , and C(1, 4) . Triangle ABC is dilated, and the vertices of the image are A′(7.5, 4

.5) , B′(4.5, 10.5) , and C′(1.5, 6) . The center of dilation is the origin.
What is the scale factor of the dilation?

Hello,

To find the scale factor, we have to look at what's going on in the problem. 

In point A, we are converting from (5, 3) to (7.5, 4.5).

We can write and solve equation to find the change (scale factor)

5x = 7.5  and 3x = 4.5

If you solve either equation, you will find the scale factor is 1.5.

Good luck,

He simultaneous equations<br>5x + y = 21<br>x - 3y = 9 <br><br>With working out​
Elza [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

5x + y = 21 → (1)

x - 3y = 9 → (2)

Multiply (1) by 3 and add the result to (2) to eliminate y term

15x + 3y = 63 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term

(x + 15x) + )- 3y + 3y) = (9 + 63)

16x = 72 ( divide both sides by 16 )

x = 4.5

Substitute x = 4.5 into (1) for corresponding value of y

22.5 + y = 21 ( subtract 22.5 from both sides )

y = - 1.5

Solution is (4.5, - 1.5 )

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (6,2) (4,1)
Alisiya [41]

Answer: y=1/2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line that passes through the points, we need to find out slope, m.

m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

We plug our points into this formula to find slope.

m=\frac{1-2}{4-6} =\frac{-1}{-2} =\frac{1}{2}

Our slope is 1/2. To find our y-intercept, b, we would plug any point into the equation for slope-intercept form.

y=mx+b

y=1/2x+b

1=1/2(4)+b

1=2+b

b=-1

Now that we know b, our equation is y=1/2x-1.

Please help me I’m in finals a don’t want to fail
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

1, 2, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

X <= 20 means that x has to be less than OR equal to 20.

The first option is -100. That's less than 20, so this statement is true.

The second option is 10. That's also less than 20, so this statement is also true.

The third option is 20. This is equal to 20, so this is also true.

The fourth option is 21, which is greater than 20, so it's not true.

The fifth option is 45, which is greater than 20, so it's not true.

Sorry I answered so late, hope this helps even though you probably don't need it anymore.

PLS HELP c:
Leona [35]

Answer:

108, 108, 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are congruent and if the measure of 1 of the angles is 72 degrees and straight lines equal 180 degrees you have to subtract 72 from 180 which equals 108.
