In order to find the equation of a line, you would have to use the equation y=mx+b.
First, find the slope:
There is (1,8) and (2, 16) so plug that in 16-8/2-1 = 8. That's your slope! (Or the m)
Next in order to find b, you have to plug in a point:
y=8x+b
Take (1,8) and plug it in for x and y:
8=8(1)+b
b=0
Your y intercept is 0 (which you can also see on the graph)
So your answer is: y=8x
Answer:
sometimes
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways that dilation is used in real life. Here are several:
In graphic design. I actually do some graphic design, and I use dilation a lot. It is common to dilate photos to fit the space that you want it to fit.
In police work and crime investigation. Detectives and police dilate photos to see smaller details and evidence.
In architecture. It is normal for architects to make a prototype of their design or building. In order to make the building true to the prototype, they must dilate the scale and measurements.
In the doctor's office. Dilation is used in eye exams so that the eye doctor can view the patient's eye better. After a while it will slowly reduce in size and return back to normal.
The angles in the triangles are the same, so you know the triangles are similar. Sides PQ and AB correspond as do sides PR and AC. Because the triangles are similar, you know that
PR/AC = PQ/AB
PR/24 = 5/20
Multiplying this equation by 24 gives
PR = 24*(5/20) = 6
The appropriate choice is ...
