How does scale factor change the area?

Mathematics
1 answer:
morpeh [17]4 years ago
5 0

Answer: in summary, a scale factor is simply a number that multiplies the dimensions of a shape. ... If the scale factor is three, then the perimeter of the new object will be three times the original perimeter. The area of a scaled object will be equal to the scale factor squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if you had a triangle with a base measuring 6 units, and a height measuring 3 units, the area would be 9 square units. If we scale it by 1/3, the triangle's base is 2 units, the height is 1 unit, and the area is 1 square unit. The dimensions were scaled by 1/3, but the area was scaled by 1/9 (1/3 * 1/3).

A system of equations consists of two lines. One line passes through (-1, 3) and (0, 1). The other line passes through (1, 4) an
Setler79 [48]
The equation of the line in its generic form is:
 y = mx + b
 Where,
 m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

 For (-1, 3) and (0, 1):
 We look for the value of m:
 m = (1-3) / (0 - (- 1))
 m = (- 2) / (0 + 1)
 m = -2
 We look for the value of b:
 1 = m (0) + b
 b = 1
 The line is:
 y = -2x + 1

 For (1, 4) and (0, 2):
 
We look for the value of m:
 m = (2-4) / (0-1)
 m = (- 2) / (- 1)
 m = 2
 We look for the value of b:
 2 = m (0) + b
 b = 2
 The line is:
 y = 2x + 2

 The system of equations is:
 y = -2x + 1
 y = 2x + 2

the system has one solution

Which of the following functions has a rate of change that stays the same?
nata0808 [166]
For polynomials, if we say of "rate of change", we are talking about the slope of the tangent line. That is the value of dy/dx or the differential of y in terms of x. From the given choices, the answer would be the second choice, y = 19x - 10. This is because dy/dx in this item is essentially equal to 19 which is a constant.
