It would be nonsense, as if the beetle were at normal size, then it would be considered 1/1 as a scale. If you wanted to increase it, you would increase the numerator.
Step-by-step explanation:
the rate of change is officially
(f(x2) - f(x1)) / (x2 - x1)
but for a line function (as we have here) this is totally easy : it is the slope of the line.
and that means it is the factor of x.
in our case this is -3/2.
because the slope of a line is the ratio "y coordinate change / x coordinate change". and that is exactly corresponding to the general rate of change definition above.
34%/100=0.34 and that is equal to 34:100 aka 34/100.
Hoped I helped!
Answer:
S(-2, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached below,=. Frim the diagram, the coordinate of R and T are (-5, 3) and (-1, -5) respectively. If the ratio of RS to ST is 3:1, the coordinate of S can be gotten using the midpoint segment formula as shown;
S(X, Y) = {(ax1+bx2/a+b), (ay1+by1/a+b)} where;
x1 = -5, y1 = 3, x2 = -1, y2 = -5, a = 3 and b =1
Substitute the values into the formula;
X = ax2+bx1/a+b
X = 3(-1)+1(-5)/3+1
X = -3-5/4
X = -8/4
X = -2
Similarly;
Y = ay2+by1/a+b
Y = 3(-5)+1(3)/3+1
Y = -15+3/4
Y = -12/4
Y = -3
Hence the coordinate of the point (X, Y) is (-2, -3)
