For this case we have that by definition, the equation in the form of slope-intersection is given by:
Where
Substituting the given point: and the cutoff point
we can find the slope,
We have:
Thus, the equation is given by:
Answer:
See attached image
The scale factor is: 1/5.
The missing sides of figure B are: 2.4, 3.6, and 4.
<h3>How to find Scale Factor?</h3>Scale factor = dimension of new figure / dimension of original figure
The polygons given are shown in the diagram attached below.
Figure A is the original figure
Figure B is the new figure.
x, y, and z has been used to mark the missing sides of figure B.
One dimension of original figure = 15
Corresponding dimension of the new figure = 3
Scale factor = new/original = 3/15
Scale factor = 1/5
To find the missing sides of figure B, multiply each corresponding side lengths of Figure A by the scale factor:
x = 12 × 1/5 = 2.4
y = 18 × 1/5 = 3.6
z = 20 × 1/5 = 4
In summary:
The scale factor is: 1/5.
The missing sides of figure B are: 2.4, 3.6, and 4.

Let "x" represent the age of Brian.
Andrew is elder than Brian by 2 years, we can symbolize his age as "x+2"
Frank is twice as old as Andrew, we can symbolize his age as "2(x+2)"
Sarah has half the age of Brian's, we can symbolize her age as "x/2"
Frank ans Sarah's ages differ by 40 years, we can symbolize this as:
Solve the term is parenthesis
x=24 years
Andrew's age is
Andrew is 26 years old
