Answer: y = 1/2 or y = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First move the 1 to the side with the 0
-4y^2 = -1 // -1 because when you move a number to the other side of the equation you have to multiply -1
Then divide by -4 on each side
y^2 = 1/4
square root each side
|y| = 1/2 // sq rt y^2 becomes an absolute value because when you square root a square it automatically becomes an absolute value
so the answer would be y = 1/2 or -1/2
to check just put it into the equation as y. Both work.
Put the value of the letters with " over the original
So for A we have 3 in the front and 4.5 for A"
4.5/3 = 1.5
We can check if this is actually the scale factor but using the other numbers
The second numbers for A and A" are 6 and 9
6 * 1.5 = 9
So for point A it is 1.5
Use the same thing for G. That gives you 2
For B, you get 0.5
So the scale factors are 1.5, 2, and 0.5
The value of A is 6 and B is 8
