Solve the system using elimination. x – y = –5 3x + y = 1 (–1, 4)
(–1, 2)
(2, –2)
(–3, 4)

(–1,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

x – y = –5

3x + y = 1

You omit Ys due to their positive and negative signs and you got

4x = –4===> x= –1

and now place –1 inside the upper linear equation and there you have the Y, look

–1 – Y= –5===> –Y= –4===> Y = 4

(–1,4)

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
