The correct answer is B. 45°
We have been given that the number of species of coastal dune plants in Australia decreases as the latitude, in °s, increases.
Further we know that there are 34 species at 11°s and 26 species at 44°s.
We can express the given information at two ordered pairs as shown below:
Let us find slope of the line through these points:
Therefore, we can write the equation of line in slope intercept form as:
Where b is the y intercept, and we can find its value using one of the two points.
Therefore, the required equation of the linear function is:
Answer:
area of rectangle =length ×width
area of rectangle=12yd×15yd
area of rectangle=180yd²

<u><em>Answers:</em></u>
The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent
The image is a reduction of the pre-image
Neither the dilation nor the rotation change the shape of the triangle
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>For shapes to be similar:</u>
1- there should be a ratio between the sides
2- angles in first shape should be congruent to angles in second shape
Now, a scale factor of 0.2 means that the sides of the image are 0.2 of the length of the original shape. However, angles are not changes
<u>Let's check the choices:</u>
<u>1- </u><span><u>The corresponding sides of the triangles are congruent:</u>
This option is incorrect as dilation changes the lengths of the sides
<u>2- </u></span><span><u>The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent:</u>
This option is correct as neither dilation nor rotation alters the measures of the angles
<u>3- </u></span><span><u>The corresponding sides of the image are 5 times as long as those of the pre-image:</u>
This option is incorrect as the sides of the image are only 0.2 times as long as those of the pre-image
<u>4- </u></span><span><u>The image is a reduction of the pre-image:</u>
This option is correct as the sides of the image are 0.2 times those of the pre-image which means that the shape is reduced
<u>5- </u></span><span><u>Neither the dilation nor the rotation change the shape of the triangle:</u>
This option is correct as both dilation and rotation are rigid transformations that do not alter the shape of the triangle (a triangle remains a triangle only with different side lengths)
<u>6- </u></span><u>The rotation reduces the size of the triangle:</u>
This option is incorrect as rotation does not alter the size of the shape. It only changes its position
Hope this helps :)
