Some mirrors give us real, virtual, larger, smaller images, depending on where the objects are located and the characteristics of the mirror. The magnification of a certain mirror is -2.5 for an object 5.0 cm high, which is 10 cm away from the mirror.

What is the focal length of this mirror and the height of the object?

Make the drawing, showing all the important parts for this mirror, and draw the ray diagram to locate the image, and state the main characteristics of the image with respect to the object.
