A-the data set is symmetrical
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The outer and inner triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
12(x - 3) = 8x
12x - 36 = 8x ( subtract 8x from both sides )
4x - 36 = 0 ( add 36 to both sides )
4x = 36 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 9
Applying a dilation centered at the origin with scale factor
has the effect of multiplying both coordinates of a point by
:

So, in your case, the coordinates of the points double:

Answer:
14/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Broken down into steps:
1. Find the slope of the line segment that connecs the points (0,-7) and (4,-15).
2. Start with the point-slope formula for the equation of a straight line:
y-b = m(x-a), where the given point is (a,b). Borrow the value of m that you calculated in (1), above, and insert it into this point-slope formula.
Finish up by subst. the x- and y-values in (-3,6) into this formula.
Done!
You could, of course, solve this result for y if you wished.
