Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's look at what scale factors would be able to enlarge, reduce, and preserve first. We will use the point (1,1) as an example.

ENLARGE

When we talk about scale factors, both of our numbers of the ordered pair will be multiplied by that number. To make it bigger, we will multiply it by anything larger than a one, we could have a scale factor such as 2, 100, 579395. etc.!

Dilation of 2

(1,1)⇒(2,2)

REDUCE

To reduce our ordered pair, our scale factor must be a number greater than zero but less than one because it cannot switch quadrants, which is what would happen if we used negative numbers. Our reduced number must be greater than zero. We can use 1/2, 1/4, 1/100, 0.67 etc.

Dilation of 1/2

(1,1)⇒(0.5,0.5)

PRESERVE

What would we multiply an ordered pair by to make it stay the same? One of course! This is the only number that will keep it the same!

Dilation of 1

(1,1)⇒(1,1)

Now, let's think of any scale factor as X and see what rules it has to follow to be enlarging, reducing, or preserving.

ENLARGING SCALE FACTOR: X>1

REDUCING SCALE FACTOR: 0<X<1

PRESERVING SCALE FACTOR: X=1

So, where does 4.2 fall? Well, as you can see, 4.2 is greater than one, so this scale factor would make our point larger.

Therefore, 4.2 would enlarge.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

To answer this question, you can use the values of the unit circle to figure out the angle measurement. Since the cosine is the x value of the circle, we can see that at 45°<span>, the x value is √2/2.
So the missing angle should be 45°</span>

3x + y = -3
-2x + y = 7
Use elimination method
Subtract both equations
5x = -10, x = -2
Plug in -2 for x (any equation)
3(-2) + y = -3
-6 + y = -3
y = 3

Solution: x = -2, y = 3
Or as a coordinate: (-2, 3)

Which inequality statement best represents the graph?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

f(x) < –x2 + x – 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is going down so we know that there is a maximum, therefore the A value has to be negative. This rules out f(x) < x2 + x – 1 and f(x) > x2 + x – 1 . The shaded area of the graph is below which indicates that f(x) has to be less than the function. This means the correct answer is f(x) < –x2 + x – 1 .

find the equation of a line that is parallel to the straight line 2x-y=-3 and crosses the x-axis at x=-5​
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

y=2x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

In line equations its helpful to write your line in the form y = ax + b. This helps because a is always the gadient of the line and b is always the y intercept.

In this case it is y=2x+3

All parallel lines have the same gradient. The gradient of this line = 2.

If the line crosses the x axis at x=-5, then when x =-5 y = 0.

If you put all this in the form y =ax + b you get 0 = 2(-5) +b

So all you need to do to find b is rearrange. b = 10.

Therefore your line has gradient 2 and y intercept 10.

y = 2x + 10

Help please! make sure to tell me the answer and an explanation!
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

So since this is all about perimeter you just got to add the values together. So lets use 12 as the denominator for every fraction. 1/4 is equal to 3/12 and 2/3 is equal to 8/12. So in conclusion 3/12 plus 8/12 and 1/12 will equal 1 in total. and then add up all the whole numbers 4 + 2 + 3 + 1 will get you 10. So 10 is your answer.
