Based on what we established about the classification of y and using the closure of integers, what does the equation tell you about the type of number y must be for the product to be rational? What conclusion can you now make about the result of multiplying a rational and an irrational number?

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
