The correct option is 3. The value of x is 8 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that Figure A is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2 to form Figure B. It means both figure are similar and corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional.
Multiply both sides by 16.
Since scale factor is 1/2, so we can directly say that the side length of image is half of the corresponding side of preimage.
The length of x is 8 inches. Therefore the correct option is 3.
A line with zero slope has no dependence on x. It is simply ...
... y = constant
The constant must be the same as the y-value of the point you want the line to go through. Since the point is (12, -9), the constant is -9 and the equation is ...
