Answer:

$k=-\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

we have the point (-30,18)

x=-30, y=18

Find the value of k

$k=\frac{y}{x}$

substitute

$k=\frac{18}{-30}$

Simplify

Divide by 6 both numerator and denominator

$k=-\frac{3}{5}$

The vertices of ΔABC are A(−3,4), B(−2,4), and C(−5,2). If ΔABC is reflected across the line y=−2 to produce the image ΔA'B'C

Mumz [18]

The coordinates of vertex B' is $P'(x,y) = (-2, -8)$ .

<h3>How to calculate the coordinate of point by reflection</h3>

A point if reflected across the line $y = -2$ by means of the following formula:

$P'(x,y) = P(x,y)+2\cdot [(x_{P}, -2)-P(x,y)]$ (1)

Where:

$P(x,y)$ - Original point
$x_{P}$ - x-Coordinate of point P
$P'(x,y)$ - Resulting point

If we know that $P(x,y) = (-2,4)$ and $x_{P} = -2$ , then the coordinates of the vertex is:

$P'(x,y) = (-2, 4) + 2\cdot [(-2,-2)-(-2,4)]$

$P'(x,y) = (-2, 4) +2\cdot (0, -6)$

$P'(x,y) = (-2, 4) + (0,-12)$

$P'(x,y) = (-2, -8)$

The coordinates of vertex B' is $P'(x,y) = (-2, -8)$ . $\blacksquare$

Descibe the mothod of solving problems with numbers in standard form ?? I have 5 MIN

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer: A standard equation is set up like this: Ax + By = C (where A, B, and C represent numbers). To find the slope (or the rate at which something changes) you must divide the value of A by the value of B (A / B).

Yin wants to create figure Y′ that is similar to figure Y. Yin begins by reflecting figure Y across the y-axis.

Sholpan [36]

Answer: B) Dilate by scale factor of 2

====================================================

Explanation:

Your teacher isn't saying this directly, but I'm assuming s/he wants you to find a similar figure that isn't congruent to the original. Informally, your teacher seems to want you to find a figure that is the same shape but not the same size as the original.

If so, then any dilation will shrink or enlarge the image depending on the scale factor. So the new image will not be the same as the old one. In this case, a dilation with scale factor 2 means the new figure is twice as large (each side is twice as long). But the old image is similar to the new image. The angles keep their values and therefore we get the same shape. This is why choice B is the answer. Again this is assuming what I mentioned in the first paragraph.

Choices A, C, and D are all known as rigid transformations and they preserve the same size of the figure. Applying any of those operations will lead to the same figure (just rotated, reflected or shifted somehow). In other words, applying operations A,C, or D will have us get two congruent triangles. If two triangles are congruent, then they are automatically similar, but not vice versa. This is why we can rule out A,C, and D.
