The correct option is B which is the value of PG is 3 units.

Given

The scale factor of the dilation of segment HG is 1/6.

If PG' equals 0.5 units,

<h3>What is the scale factor?</h3>

The scale factor is a measure for the identical shapes, which look identical but have various scales or measures.

The scale factor of the dilation of segment HG is 1/6.

By the rule of scale factor;

$\rm \dfrac{PG'}{PG}= SF = \dfrac{1}{6}$

Where SF represents the scale factor.

Solving for PG, we get:

$\rm \dfrac{PG'}{PG}=\dfrac{1}{6} \\\\ \dfrac{0.5}{PG} = \dfrac{1}{6}\\\\ 0.5 \times 6= 1\times PG\\\\ PG = 3$

Hence, the value of PG is 3 units.

Answer:

150 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

let m represent miles

$70 + .70m = $40 + .90m

subtract 40 from each side

$30 + .70m = .90m

subtract .70m from each side

$30 = .20m

divide both sides by .20

150 = m

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(−3, 4), B(4, −2), C(8, 3). The triangle is translated 4 units down and 3 units left. Which rule r

crimeas [40]

Option C: $(x, y) \rightarrow(x-3, y-4) ; (5,-1)$ is the coordinates of C after translation.

Explanation:

The triangle ABC has vertices at A(−3, 4), B(4, −2), C(8, 3).

Also, given that the triangle is translated 4 units down and 3 units left.

We need to determine the coordinates of the vertex C after translation.

The triangle is shifted 4 units down means subtracting 4 units from the y - coordinate of the graph.

Thus, it can be written as $y-4$

Also, the triangle is shifted 3 units left means subtracting 3 units from the x - coordinate of the graph.

Thus, it can be written as $x-3$

Thus, the translation is given by

$(x, y) \rightarrow(x-3, y-4)$

The vertices of C after translation can be determined by

$(8, 3) \rightarrow(8-3, 3-4)\implies (5,-1)$

Thus, $(x, y) \rightarrow(x-3, y-4) ; (5,-1)$ is the coordinates of C after translation.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

The Fall Festival charges $0.75 per ticket for the rides. Kendall bought 18 tickets for rides and spent a total of $33.50 at the

PIT_PIT [208]

The variable y is the dependent variable and the variable x is the independent variable.

The cost of one ticket is $0.75. Therefore, the cost of 18 tickets will be:

$0.75\times 18=13.5$ dollars

Now, we know that Kendall spent her money only on ride tickets and fair admission and that she spent a total of $33.50.

Therefore, the price of the fair admission is: $33.50-$13.50=$20

If we use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets, the linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who only pays for ride tickets and fair admission can be written as:

$y=0.75x+20$ ......Equation 1

<u>Part (c)</u>

The above equation is logical because, in general, the total cost of the rides will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought and that will be 0.75x. Now, even if one does not take any rides, that is when x=0, they still will have to pay for the fair admission, and thus their total cost, y=$20.

Likewise, any "additional" cost will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought as already suggested. Thus, the total cost will be the sum of the total ride ticket cost and the fixed fair admission cost. Thus, the above Equation 1 is the correct representative linear equation of the question given.
