What is the scale factor in the dilation if the coordinates of A' are (-7,6) and the coordinates of C' are (-4,3)

Answer:
1/3

Explanation:
The general rule to get the new dilation coordinate is as follows:
new coordinate = k * old coordinate
where k is the scale factor

For point A:
Xcoordinate of A' = k * Xcoordinate of A
-7 = k * -21
k = -7 / -21
k = 1/3
Ycoordinate of A' = k * Ycoordinate of A
6 = k * 18
k = 6/18
k = 1/3

For point C:
Xcoordinate of C' = k * Xcoordinate of C
 -4 = k * -12
k = -4/-12
k = 1/3
Ycoordinate of C' = k * Ycoordinate of C
3 = k * 9
k = 3/9
k = 1/3

From all of the above, we can conclude that the scale factor is definitely 1/3

Hope this helps :)

Find the slop-intercept form of the line whose slope is 5 and that passes through the point (-6,7).
Korvikt [17]
You know that the slope, m=5. You have a point (6,7) as (x,y). The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. Plug in the number for x,y, and m, and then you would be able to find b using the slope-intercept form. Then rewrite the equation as y=5x+b, which you just found b.
(Here's the first step. 7=5(-6)+b). Find b, and then write the slope-intercept form as y=5x+b.

How to solve an expression with variables in the exponents?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

  use logarithms

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the logarithm of an expression with a variable in the exponent makes the exponent become a coefficient of the logarithm of the base.

__

You will note that this approach works well enough for ...

  a^(x+3) = b^(x-6) . . . . . . . . . . . variables in the exponents

  (x+3)log(a) = (x-6)log(b) . . . . . a linear equation after taking logs

but doesn't do anything to help you solve ...

  x +3 = b^(x -6)

There is no algebraic way to solve equations that are a mix of polynomial and exponential functions.

__

Some functions have been defined to help in certain situations. For example, the "product log" function (or its inverse) can be used to solve a certain class of equations with variables in the exponent. However, these functions and their use are not normally studied in algebra courses.

In any event, I find a graphing calculator to be an extremely useful tool for solving exponential equations.
