Answer:

y=1/5x-31/5 (or y=0.2x-6.2 in decimals)

Step-by-step explanation:

x=5y-8 (original equation)

x+8=5y (Addition Property of Equality)

1/5x+8/5=y (Division Property of Equality, slope of original equation is 1/5)

y-y1=m(x-x1) (point-slope formula)

y-(-5))=1/5(x-(6)) (plug in the slope that was found earlier and the point given in the question)

y+5=1/5(x-6)

y+5=1/5x-6/5 (Distributive Property of Multiplication) Note: 5 = 25/5

y=1/5x-31/5 (Subtraction Property of Equality, and there's your answer)

y=0.2x-6.2 (This is the same answer, but written with decimals)

Answer:

y-2=1/6(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(1-2)/(-5-1)

m=-1/-6

m=1/6

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-2=1/6(x-1)

Mrs. Hanger is painting the following picture of an H to hang in the entryway of her home. She has made the following scale draw

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

5 in. by 4 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion of 1/4 is larger than 1/6 so the new scale drawing is larger. The new scale drawing is the drawn blank. The dimensions are 5 in. x 4 in. for the background. The H's dimensions are 1/2 in. width and also 1 in. The height is about 4 in. Length, width and height are all dimensions which is what I was trying to find. I'm sorry if this didn't help I didn't really know what it was asking.

Answer:

image = A = 35×35

preimage = B = 28×28

Scale factor = image/preimage

$\frac{35}{28} \times \frac{35}{28}$
