Answer:

So the answer is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll assume the dilation was done at the origin point, so it was done evenly.

Since the k point went from (10,0) to (5,0), we know it was reduced... so the scale factor has to be below 1. A scale factor means the size wasn't changed and a dilation/scale factor larger than 1 means it was enlarged.

So, we take the new X-value (5) and divide it by the original X-value (10).

Scale factor = 5/10 = 1/2... so 0.5

Answer:

The scale factor of the following dilation is, 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of dilation with scale factor k is given by:

(x, y) \rightarrow (kx, ky)

As per the statement:

Given the following dilation:

(10, 0) → (5, 0)                 .....[1]

We have to find the scale factor.

Using the above rule we have;

(10, 0) \rightarrow (10k, 0k)

Now compare this with equation [1] we have;

(10k, 0) = (5, 0)

⇒10k = 5

After solving we get;

k = \frac{1}{2}=0.5

Therefore,  the scale factor of the following dilation is, 0.5

kobusy [5.1K]
To set the equation,we can first find how much price would be raised within a year:

=500×(1+7%)

=500×1.07

As the years go by the increase would accumulate,and the equation would be:

500 \times  {1.07}^{t}

Find the equation of the line shown
Finger [1]

Answer:

y=x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see, the slope is clearly 1 and the line starts at (0, 1), which is its y-intercept.

Plug the variables into this formula: y=mx+b, then you will get y=x+1.

Find the equation of the line that passes through the point (−3, −4) and is parallel to the line that passes through the points
Dimas [21]

Answer:

y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line use the point slope formula y - y_1 = m(x-x_1). Find m by using the slope formula with the points.

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{1--3}{-5-7} =\frac{4}{-12} =-\frac{1}{3}

Since the line is parallel, it will have the same slope.

Substitute m = -1/3 and (-3,-4).

y --4 = -\frac{1}{3}(x --3)\\y + 4 = -\frac{1}{3}(x+3)\\y +4 = -\frac{1}{3}x - 1\\y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 5
