Plot a graph of y-axis against x-axis.
The graph should be a straight line passing through:
(-2,0.8) , (-1,-0.4) , (0,0) , (1,0.4) and (2,0.8)
Answer:
y = 0.5x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
the y-intercept is 2, as shown in the graph
the slope is 0.5. this is because while the x-value goes up by 2, the y-value goes up by one (from 0, 2 to 2, 3).
using the slope formula of rise / run, you get 1/2, which is equal to 0.5
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Triangle A is attached in the image below.
The base of triangle A is 3 units and its height is 3 units. The area of a triangle is given as:
Area = (1/2) × base × height
Area of triangle A = (1/2) × base × height = (1/2) × 3 × 3 = 4.5 unit²
Area of the scaled copy = 72 unit²
Ratio of area = Area of the scaled copy / Area of triangle A = 72 unit² / 4.5 unit² = 16
Hence the scaled copy area is 16 times larger than that of triangle A.
b) For the scaled copy:
Area of the scaled copy = (1/2) × base × height = 72 unit²
base × height = 144
Since the base and height are equal
base² = 144
base = 12, also height = 12
Base of scaled copy = 12 = 4 × base of triangle A
Therefore the scale factor used is 4
