Answer:  The value of x is 12 units and the scale factor is \dfrac{4}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the triangle DEF is similar to the triangle RST.

We are to find the value of x and the scale factor of the dilation.

We know that the corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional.

So, we must have

\dfrac{DE}{RS}=\dfrac{EF}{ST}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{4}{16}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow x=3\times4\\\\\Rightarrow x=12.

The scale factor is given by

S=\dfrac{\textup{length of a side of the dilated triangle}}{\textup{length of the corresponding side of the original triangle}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow S=\dfrac{RS}{DE}\\\\\\\Rightarrow S=\dfrac{4}{3}.

Thus, the value of x is 12 units and the scale factor is \dfrac{4}{3}.

a. The slope of the line passing through the points R(3, 5) and H(-1,2) is -3/4

b. The distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is 5 units

c.  The midpoint of the R(3, 5) and H(-1,2) is  (2, 4)

8.

a. The transformation rule is  (x,y) → (x + 1, y - 1)

b.

  • The x-coordinate is shifted 1 unit to the left and
  • The y - coordinate is shifted 1 unit downwards.

c. The image of B' the pre-image of B(5, 6) is (6, 5)

<h3 /><h3>7 a. How to find the slope of the line?</h3>

The slope of a line passing through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Given that

  • (x₁, y₁) = (3, 5) and
  • (x₂,y₂) = (-1, 2)

So, m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = (2 - 5)/(-1 - 3)

m = -3/-4

m = -3/4

So, the slope of the line passing through the points R(3, 5) and H(-1,2) is -3/4

<h3>b. The distance between the points</h3>

The distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is d = √[(y₂ - y₁)² + (x₂ - x₁)²]

Given that

  • (x₁, y₁) = (3, 5) and
  • (x₂,y₂) = (-1, 2)

d = √[(y₂ - y₁)² + (x₂ - x₁)²]

d = √[(2 - 5)² + (-1 - 3)²]

d = √[(-3)² + (-4)²]

d = √[9 + 16]

d = √25

d = 5 units

So, the distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is 5 units

<h3>7 c How to find the midpoint of the R(3, 5) and H(-1,2) </h3>

The midpoint of the the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is (x, y)  = [(x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2]

Given that

  • (x₁, y₁) = (3, 5) and
  • (x₂,y₂) = (-1, 2)

So, the midpoint (x, y)  = [(x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2]

(x, y)  = [(3 + (-1))/2, (5 + 3)/2]

(x, y)  = [(3 - 1)/2, (5 + 3)/2]

(x, y)  = [4/2, 8/2]

(x, y)  = (2, 4)

So, the midpoint of the R(3, 5) and H(-1,2) is  (2, 4)

<h3>8. a The rule for the transformation of point A(1, 4) to point B(2, 3)</h3>

Given that point A(1, 4) and point B(2, 3) we see that point B(1 + 1, 4 - 1).

Let pont A be (x,y).

So, point B = (x + 1, y - 1)

So, the transformation rule is  (x,y) → (x + 1, y - 1)

<h3>b. Describe the transformation</h3>

Since the transformation rule is   (x,y) → (x + 1, y - 1), we see that

  • the x-coordinate is shifted 1 unit to the left and
  • the y - coordinate is shifted 1 unit downwards.
<h3>c. The image of B' the pre-image of B(5, 6)</h3>

Since the transformation rule is  (x,y) → (x + 1, y - 1) and point B is (5, 6), thus the image of B' is

(x,y) → (x + 1, y - 1)

(5,6) → (5 + 1, 6 - 1)

(5,6) → (6, 5)

So, the image of B' the pre-image of B(5, 6) is (6, 5)
