A team has 3 wins for every loss they loss games how many did they win??

1 answer:

5 0

The team has lost only 6 games (according to the comments). Let's say "x" is the amount of losses and "y" is the amount of wins.

For every loss, they have 3 wins, so in the end, this would be the equation:
$y = 3x$
or
$y = 3 \times x$
Although the first one would be the easier and most understandable to read.

So:
y = 3(6)
would equal
18

the line y=2x-4 is dilated bt a scale factor of 3/2 and centered at the origin. Write an equation that represent that image of t

Answer: $y = 2x -6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, If (x,y) represents the coordinates of a line, then after dilation about the origin by the scale factor k, the coordinates of the resultant line will get by the rule,

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

Here, The equation of the given line is,

y = 2x - 4

x-intercept and y-intercept of the line are (2,0) and (0,-4) respectively,

Hence, the line y = 2x - 4 will be passes through the points (2,0) and (0,-4),

By the above property,

The dilated line about the origin will be passes through the points (3,0) and (0,-6), ( Because (3/2× 2, 3/2×0) = (3,0) and (3/2×0, 3/2×-4) = (0,-6) )

Hence, the equation of transformed line after dilation,

$y-0 = \frac{-6-0}{0-3}(x-3)$
