Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Point E
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that point E is the only point where you can draw a straight line from E to A' to A, E to B' to B, etc. That is, the line doesn't have to turn or bend to reach these three points. This doesn't work with any other point, so you know E is the point of dilation.
You can more firmly determine this by looking at the ratios of the distances. Notice how E is the only point where the ratio from of E to A and E to A' is equal to the ratio from of E to B and E to B', and so on for each vertex of the quadrilateral.
3x = -5y -------------- (1)
6x - 7y = 17 --------- (2)
From (1):
3x = -5y
x = -5/3 y ---------- sub into (2)
6 (-5/3 y) - 7y = 17
-10y - 7y = 17
-17y = 17
y = -1 ------------ Sub into (1)
3x = -5 (-1)
3x = 5
x = 5/3
Ans: x = 5/3, y = -1
