I’m a little confused by the question and the problem, is there a picture of the problem you could add?

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Linear Modeling</u>
It consist is setting up a linear relationship between two variables, given some experimental data. Only 2 points are needed to set up the equation of a line, but if more than 2 points are used, then the result should use statistical approaches like linear regression to find the best-fit line.
For the question at hand, Marty practices his piano lessons 11 minutes the week #1. It provides the first point (1,11). He practices 25 minutes per day on the third week. It gives us another point (3,25). This is enough to find the equation of a line. The general formula for a line, having two points (m1,w1) (m2,w2) is
Let's plug in our values
Simplifying:
Let's start with a picture.
We see RST is smaller, and BC is parallel to but in the opposite direction to its corresponding segment ST. Both have slope -1.
If we look at the difference of points (technically called vectors but we don't have to go there) we get
C-B=(-2,2)
T-S=(1,-1)
Without further calculation we can see T-S is half the length of C-B.
The problem asks for a dilation followed by a reflection. We know the dilation scale is k=1/2 because the new triangle is half the size.
After dilation we get A'B'C':
A'(3,2), B'(-1,0), C'(-2,1)
We see now we need a reflection that flips the coordinates x and y. That's the +45° line through the origin, namely y=x.
Answer: k=1/2, y=x
Shorter <span>piece = x
longer </span><span>piece = 4x
x + 4x = 48.5
5x = 48.5
x = 48.5/5
x = 9.7 cm </span>← shorter piece
longer piece = 4x = 4 * 9.7 = 38.8 cm
