The slope of the line l is the opposite reciprocal of y+2x=9. Rearranged the equation to y=9-2x and we get a slope of -2. The opposite reciprocal of -2 is 1/2.
y-y=m(x-x)
y-3=.5(x-4)
y=.5x+1
At the x-intercept, y=0, so
0=.5x+1
-1=.5x
x=-2
You can simply put the equation as 9x = 36 and divide by 9, then x = 4
Given that the chip has a dimension of 8 mm by 8 mm which can be written as 0.8 cm by 0.8 cm, is drawn to scale and the dimensions of the plot is 4 cm by 4 cm, the scale of the drawing will be:
0.8 cm is represented by 4 cm
thus;
4 cm rep 0.8 cm
1 cm rep 0.2 cm
The answer is:
1 cm rep 0.2 cm
