Answer:

scale factor 3 : 4
x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the scale factor from ΔDEF to ΔRST, find a measure on ΔDEF and a corresponding measure on ΔRST, then write them in the form required for the scale factor.

Here, there are numbers on DE, RS, and ST. We see by the similarity statement ΔDEF ~ ΔRST that DE corresponds to RS, so the scale factor is ...

ΔDEF : ΔRST = DE : RS = 3 : 4 . . . scale factor

Using that scale factor, you can write a proportion to find the value of x.

3 : 4 = x : 16 ⇒ 3/4 = x/16

Multiplying the fraction equation by 16, we have ...

x = 16(3/4)

x = 12

(5,-9);slope= -4/3<br> Write in slope intercept form

Fantom [35]

Answer:

y = 4/3x-7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=Mx+b; m=slope & b= y intercept

y=-4/3x+b

Now substitute x & y with the point given

(-9)=-4/3(5)+b

-9= -20/3+b

+20/3 +20/3

-7/3=b

Now substitute this into the original equation

y = 4/3x-7/3

Do you know how to find rate of change? X&Y intercepts? Zeros?

Rzqust [24]

#Rate of change

Rate of change is slope

If two points be (x1,y-1) and (X2,Y2) then

Slope=m=y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1

If a line be ax+by+c=0

m=-a/b

#X and y inetercept

If a equation given y=mx+b

To find x intercept put y=0
To find y inetercept put x=0

#Zeros

To find the zeros spot out the x inetercepts

The x values of the x intercepts are the zeros
