Hi!
To solve this, we must make an equation in y = mx + b form, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Since we are looking at a graph with points, it saves us a TON of work, and all we have to do is simply look at the graph. We only need to find m and b, that's it!
M is the slope, and the slope can be represented by the change between points on a line, also known as <em>rise/run. </em>
If we start at point (-4, -1), and go to point (-2, 0), we can see that it goes up 1 and right 2, which would be represented as 1/2.
B is the y-intercept, and that is simply the point that is on the y-axis, which is the point (0, 1), so our number would be 1.
Therefore, plugging these numbers into the equation, our equation is y = <em>1/2</em>x + <em>1</em>

Hope this helps! :D
Have you tried asking a teacher for help before this
and did you try to take notes cuse notes are your best friends
You're answer is B.) 0.7 because both the fraction and the decimal read seven tenths.
Divide the sides of the larger triangle by the corresponding side of the smaller one:
18/7.2 = 2.5
Figure A is 2.5 times the size of figure B
The scale factor is 2.5
