The answer to this is 10.
The complete question in the attached figure
we know that
length side AB=8 units
length side DE=4 units
[ABC]=[DEF]*[scale factor]
then
[scale factor ]=[ABC]/[DEF]---------> 8/4--------> 2
the answer is
the scale factor for a dilation image of DEF to obtain ABC is 2
Answer:
No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Note how "2x" shows up in both equations. This suggests doing a substitution to solve the system.
Focus first on the first equation. Solving 2x - y = 7 for 2x, we get:
2x = y + 7.
Next, we substitute y + 7 for 2x in the second equation:
y = (y + 7) + 3.
Simplifying this produces:
0 = 10
This is not true and can never be true. Thus, this system has no solution.
What ever you do to one number you have to do to the other
An equation in point-slope form is
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
Your point is (7,6) and your slope is 2
y1 is the y coordinate of your point (in this case 6)
x1 is the x coordinate of your point (in this case 7)
m is your slope (in this case 2)
Now you just have to plug these numbers in:
y - 6 = 2 (x - 7)
