Question 1
Let the scale factor be k.
Then, we have the mapping

This implies that:

We equate any corresponding component find the value of the scale factor k.
6k=2


Hence the scale factor is 
Question 2:
The midpoint of any two points can be calculated using the formula;

We want to find the midpoint of (-8, 5) and (2, -2).


The midpoint is:

7/100 is already simplified as 7 is a prime number.
1/6 is the chance of it happening if there is a 12 on the dice
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a geometric progression.
Givens
a1 = 7
r = 6
Formula
a_n = a1 * r^(n - 1)
a_n = 7 (6)^(n - 1)
Sample
Try n = 3
a_3 = 7*(6)^(3-1)
a_3 = 7*(6)^2
a_3 = 7 * 36
.a_3 = 252 which is exactly what it should be.
