To answer this question here is what you would do. I can't give you the exact answer because there is not a line plot attached.
Count the number of X's above the number 5 1/2 feet. Put this number over the total number of X's you count (including the 5 1/2s).
This is your answer when you write these 2 pieces of information in fraction form.
Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation:
you first plug (substitute) in y
-3x - 3(-5x-17)=3
then distribute
-3x+15x+51=3
now combine like terms
12x+51=3
subtract to get 12x by itself
12x=3-51 or 12x=-48
lastly divide by 12 to find x
12x/12=-48/12
x=-4
now find y by plugging x into the other equation
y=-5(-4)-17
y=3
(-4,3)
So 2.5 os to 50, aka 2.5:50
divide each side by 2.5 to get the answer.
if you dont have a calculator, divide each side by 5 to get .5:10, multiply by 2 to get 1:20
The ratio of the shortest sides is 12/5. Multiplying the other two sides of the smaller triangle by that ratio gives 15 and 18, so the ratios of all sides are the same. The triangles are similar.

The largest/smallest scale factor is 12/5 = 2.4.
