Answer:
Scale factor = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Using similar triangles
AT/AG = AB/AC
9/3 = x+10/3x-10
Cross multiply
3(x+10) = 9(3x-10)
Expand
3x+30 = 27x-90
3x-27x = -90 - 30
-24x = -120
x = 120/24
x = 5
For the larger triangle;
AC = 3x-10
AC = 3(5)-10
AC =15-10
AC = 5
AB = x+10
AB = 5+10
AB = 15
For the scale factor;
Since AT/AG = AB/AC
9/15 = 3/5
3*3/5*3 =3/5
Since the numerator and denominator of the larger triangle is multiplies by the same factor i.3 3. Hence the scale factor is 3
The answer to your question is 4:10
Answer: y = 3x-8
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
The slope is 3, so m = 3
The given point is (3,1) meaning x = 3 and y = 1. The x coordinate is always listed first in an ordered pair. The general format is (x,y)
We'll use m = 3, x = 3 and y = 1 to find the y intercept
y = mx+b
y = m*x+b
1 = 3*3+b ... plug in m = 3, x = 3 and y = 1
1 = 9+b
1-9 = 9+b-9 ... subtract 9 from both sides
-8 = b
b = -8
----------------
So we're given m = 3 as the slope and we just found that b = -8 is the y intercept
So y = mx+b updates to y = 3x-8. This is the final answer.
----------------
Side Notes:
* The slope of 3 means rise/run = 3/1 indicating each time we go up 3, we move to the right 1
* The y intercept -8 is the location on the vertical y axis numberline where the graph crosses. The point (0,-8) is on this line.
