Answer: Scale factor = Dimension of the new shape ÷ Dimension of the original shape.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok so for starters you want to choose an equation and solve for a variable.
So, I am going to choose x from the first equation.
Add y to both sides and you get x=11+y
Next, substitute 11+y for x in the other equation so you get...
2(11+y) +10y=-6
Next distribute the 2 throug the 11 and the y
22+2y+10y=-6
12y=-28
y=-28/12
reduce this fraction to make this easier.
y=-7/3
Now plug in why to either of the equations to find x
x-(-7/3)=11
x+7/3=11
x=11-(7/3)
x=(33/3)-(7/3)
x=26/3
so x = 26/3 and y = -7/3
you can also check to see if this is correct by substituting each of these values into the equations.
The answer to this is 12.
One third of 12 is 4.
12+4=16

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The line with points (1,2) and (-1,-8). Work out its equation.</u>
<u>The slope is:</u>
- m = (-8 - 2)/(-1 - 1) = -10/-2 = 5
<u>To find the y intercept, substitute x and y-xoordinates of point (1,2):</u>
- 2 = 5(1) + b
- b = 2 - 5
- b = -3
<u>The line is:</u>
<u>Point (x, 17), substitute y-coordinate and solve for x</u>
- 17 = 5x - 3
- 5x = 17 + 3
- 5x = 20
- x = 20/5
- x = 4
