Answer:
(-1,8)
(4,-27)
Step-by-step explanation:
y+7x=1
Let x = -1 and find y
y+7(-1)=1
y -7 =1
Add 7 to each side
y-7+7 = 1+7
y = 8
(-1,8)
Let x = 4 and find y
y+7(4)=1
y +28 =1
Subtract 28 from each side
y+28-28 = 1-28
y = -27
(4,-27)
Answer: Polygon Q's area is 1/4 of Polygon P's area
======================================================
Explanation:
Imagine we had a square with side length 8. The area of this square is 8*8 = 64.
Now let's reduce each side of the square by the scale factor 1/2. So each new side is 8*(1/2) = 4. The area of this smaller square is 4*4 = 16.
Comparing the new area (16) to the old one (64), we see that the new area is 16/64 = 1/4 of the old area.
In other words,
new smaller area = (1/4)*(old larger area)
So this is one example to see why (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4 is the area scale factor based on the linear scale factor of 1/2. In short, (1/2)^2 = 1/4. Whatever the original scale factor is, square it and you'll get the area scale factor.
