Question 1
Let the scale factor be k.
Then, we have the mapping

This implies that:

We equate any corresponding component find the value of the scale factor k.
6k=2


Hence the scale factor is 
Question 2:
The midpoint of any two points can be calculated using the formula;

We want to find the midpoint of (-8, 5) and (2, -2).


The midpoint is:

Answer:
a = 12 ft, b = 12 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle is 45 45 90 right triangle
so a = b
Ratio of leg : hypo. = a : a√2
Given hypo = 12√2, so legs a = b = 12
Answer
a = 12 ft, b = 12 ft
Answer:
3y is the GCF
Step-by-step explanation:
the lowest value is -9y, so it can't be a value in the exponents
