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!

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

-6F

Step-by-step explanation: It would be 5F(4hr) = 20F. So if you have 14F subtract 20F you get -6F. Hope this helped.
