1. In the equation 4x – 2y = 19, a possible first step to isolating y is: a. Divide both sides of the equation by 2y.
b. Subtract 4x from both sides of the equation.
c. Divide both sides of the equation by 4x.
d. Subtract y from both sides of the equation.

the answer is b

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
