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

A freight train leaves a station and travels north at 60 mph. 4 hours ​later, a passenger train leaves on a parallel track and t
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

first do:

60mph * 4 hours= 240mi

Let D = the distance the passenger train has to  

travel to catch the freight train

Start a stopwatch when the passenger train leaves

Let t = the time on the stopwatch when they meet

Equation for freight train:

d-240=60t

Equation for passenger train:

d=100t

all together:

100t-240=60t

we can do 100t-60t because they both have (t)= 40t

40t=240 *now divide 240 by 40= 6

THEN do:

D= 100mph x 6= 600mi

They will meet 600 mi from the station

to check:

d-240=60t x 6

600-240= 360

60 x 6= 360

360=360
