Answer:
x = -2 & x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the scale factor of the dilation, we determine the distances between the endpoints of the two lines through the equation,
d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²
Substituting the known values.
Line Segment 1: d = √(1 - 2)² + (4 - 8)² = 4.123
Line Segment 2: d = √(18 - 14)² + (12 - 1)² = 11.70
Dividing the answers will give us 0.352
I don't know what the "lowest y-intercept means" so if you can reiterate and clarify I'd appreciate it, but if you understand what you're looking for then I assume that a graph would be helpful. An online useful graphing site I like is desmos. Hope I helped.

I'm not sure about part B, but part A will have the answer "if Ron eats lunch today, then he will drink a glass of milk" (without quotes of course)
The idea is that we have these arguments in symbolic form
P = Ron eats lunch today
Q = Ron eats a sandwich
R = Ron will drink a glass of milk
The format is
"If P then Q" ----> "if Q then R" so therefore "If P then R"
We see that P leads to Q, then Q leads to R. So overall P leads to R. We connect them as a chain of sorts. We can skip over Q since we know the first point will lead to the last. Think of it as a shortcut of sorts.
