Answer:

The slope of A'B' = -1.2 ⇒ answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about dilation

- A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure.  

- It can become larger or smaller, but the shape of the

 figure does not change.  

- The scale factor, measures how much larger or smaller  

  the image will be

- If the scale factor greater than 1, then the image will be larger

- If the scale factor between 0 and 1, then the image will be smaller

- If the center of the dilation is the origin then multiply each coordinate

 by the scale factor

* In the problem

∵ Δ ABC is dilated by a scale factor of 3 with the origin as the center

  of dilation

- Let point A is (a , b) and point B is (c , d)

∵ The slope of the line which passes through points (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2)

  is m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

∴ The slope of AB = (d - b)/(c - a) = -1.2

∵ Point A' is (3a , 3b) and point B' is (3c , 3d)

∴ The slope of A'B' = (3d - 3b)/(3c - 3a)

- Take 3 as a common factor from up and down

∴ The slope of A'B' = 3(d - b)/3(c - a) ⇒ cancel 3 up with 3 down

∴ The slope of A'B' = (d - b)/(c - a) = the slope of AB

∵ The slope of AB = -1.2

∴ The slope of A'B' = -1.2

* The slope of A'B' = -1.2

Calculate 8 ∙ 10-4 divided by 2 ∙ 102. (box after the "10" in answer is for the exponent.). ∙ 10
Korolek [52]

Given problem: \frac{8*10^{-4}}{2*10^2}.

Solution: We can see that first we have 8 and 2 numbers in front of 10's powers.

So, we need to simplify 8 over 2 first.

If we divide 8 by 2, we get 4.

Now, let us work on 10's and their powers.

10^{-4} is being divided by 10^{2}.

We can apply quotient rule of exponents remaining part.

According to quotient rule of exponents, \frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}

If we apply same rule, we need to subtract exponents of 10's.

\frac{10^{-4}}{10^2}=10^{-4-(-2)}

If we simplify exponent part -4-(-2), it will give us -4+2 =-2.

So, 10^{-4-(-2)}=10^{-2}

And final answer would be 4 \times 10^{-2}.
