Answer:
The scale factor is 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide.
2/1=2
4/2=2
4/2=2
8/4=2
2/1=2
5/1.25=2
Now then, since this is a shrinking factor, divide 1 by the common outcome from the last section (2) to get 0.5
You have already done half of it. Now substitute for x1 = 4 and y = 5
y - 5 = 6/7(x - 4)
Multiply everything by 7 to remove fractions
7y - 35 = 6(x - 4)
7y - 35 = 6x - 24
-6x + 7y = -24 + 35
-6x + 7y = 11
Some people prefer a positive number in front of x so multiply by -1
6x - 7y = -11
You can check the answer by testing it works for both of the original points
6x4 - 7x5 = 24 - 35 = -11 true
6x-3 - 7x-1 = -18 - -7 = -11 true
The first one goes with the middle the second one goes to the first and the last goes with the last that’s what I think
Answer:
The average change in temperature per hour was -8°F.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the equation 48-(-16) we know that the temperature dropped by 64°F.

We now know that the temperature dropped by 64°F in a period of 8 hours. Using the equation -64/8 we can find the average change in temperature per hour.

Therefore, the average change in temperature per hour was -8°F.
