Answer: \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for calculate the distance between two points:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Calculate the distance AB. Substitute the coordinates into the formula. Then:

d_{AB}=\sqrt{(8-0)^2+(8-(-7))^2}

d_{AB}=17

Calculate the distance A'B'. Substitute the coordinates into the formula. Then:

d_{A'B'}=\sqrt{(2-6)^2+(1-5-(-6))^2}

d_{A'B'}=\frac{17}{2}

As you can see, the distance A'B' is the distance AB multiplied by 1/2. Therefore, this is the scale factor.

How do you solve the equation 2.25t + 5 = 13.5t +14
Lynna [10]
2.25t+ 5= 13.5t+ 14
⇒ 5- 14= 13.5t- 2.25t
⇒ -9= 11.25t
⇒ -9/11.25= t
⇒ -0.8= t

Final answer: t= -0.8~

How do you write an equation of a line that passes through (4,3) and has a slope of 2?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

y = 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. We know the slope is 2, so all that's left is to find the y-intercept. To do this, for every 1 we subtract from x in (4,3), we take away 2 from y because the slope is two. We keep doing this until x is zero. The remaining y-value is the y-intercept.
