Answer: 0.5</h3>
This is equivalent to the fraction 1/2
==============================================================
Explanation:
The distance from A to B is 3 units. We can count out the spaces, or subtract the x coordinates of the two points and apply absolute value.
|A-B| = |-5-(-8)| = |-5+8| = |3| = 3
or
|B-A| = |-8-(-5)| = |-8+5| = |-3| = 3
We can say that segment AB is 3 units long.
--------------------------
The distance from A' to B' is 1.5 units because...
|A'-B'| = |-2.5-(-4)| = |-2.5+4| = |1.5| = 1.5
or
|B'-A'| = |-4-(-2.5)| = |-4+2.5| = |-1.5| = 1.5
The absolute values ensure the distance is never negative.
We can say A'B' = 1.5
---------------------------
Now divide the lengths of A'B' over AB to get the scale factor k
k = (A'B')/(AB)
k = (1.5)/(3)
k = 0.5
0.5 converts to the fraction 1/2.
The smaller rectangle A'B'C'D' has side lengths that are exactly 1/2 as long compared to the side lengths of ABCD.
Answer:
The picture shows the answer on the graph
Step-by-step explanation:
-2=-3/4×(x-6)
Distribute -3/4 through the parenthesis
-2= -3/4x+9/2
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4
-8=-3x+18
Move the variable to the left side and change its sign
3x-8=18
Move constant to the right side and change its sign
3x=18+8
Add the numbers
3x=26
Divide both sides of the equation by 3
x=26/3
Alternative Form- x=8 2/3 or x=8.6
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-12x+36 =90
-10x + 36 = 90
-10x =54
x = - 5.4
