Choose the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (7, -2) and has a slope of -3 A. y - 2 = -3(x + 7)
B. y + 2 = -3(x - 7)
C. y + 7 = -3(x - 2)
D. y - 7 = -3(x + 2)

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - 3 and (a, b) = (7, - 2 ), thus

y - (- 2) = - 3(x - 7) , that is

y + 2 = - 3(x - 7) → B

answer: i think it's a

step-by-step explanation:

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
