Answer:
(- 10, 45 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the dilatation is centred at the origin, then multiply each of the coordinates by the scale factor, that is
(- 2, 9 ) → (- 2 × 5, 9 × 5 ) → (- 10, 45 )
Total distance = 200 miles
Time needed for the first 100 miles
= 100 ÷ 40 = 2.5 hours
Time needed for the second 100 miles
= 100 ÷ 50 = 2 hours
Total time = 2.5 + 2 = 4.5 hours
Average speed = 200 ÷ 4.5 hours = 44.4 miles per hour
