Answer:

  • pitcher: $48 million
  • shortstop: $8 million

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of salaries can be written as ...

   short : pitcher = 1 : 6

Then the fraction of the total that the shortstop received is ...

  short : total = 1 : (1+6) = 1 : 7

The shortstop's salary was (1/7)×($56 million) = $8 million.

The pitcher's salary was 6 times that, so 6×($8 million) = $48 million.

The pitcher's salary was $48 million; the shortstop's, $8 million.

Answer:

Look at explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Dilation of scale factor of 5, because it would become more wide and open by a factor of 5. Reflection over y-axis, because it makes the shape double the size. Dilation of scale factor of 1/2, because it makes the shape half it's size.</u></em> The rotating 90 degrees would only change the shapes position, not the size. The translation would only move the shape to a different area, and not change the size.
