Answer:

B. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the scale factor of the given dilation.

We have been given that the perimeter of a rectangle changes from 2.5 to 10 after a dilation. We are asked to find the scale factor of dilation.

The scale factor multiplied by the original side gives the length of new side after dilation, so we can set an equation as:

\text{Original length }\cdot \text{Scale factor}=\text{New length after dilation}

Upon substituting our given values in above equation we will get,

2.5\cdot x=10

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 2.5 we will get,

\frac{2.5\cdot x}{2.5}=\frac{10}{2.5}

x=4

Therefore, the scale factor of the given dilation is 4 and option B is the correct choice.

Scale factor = new length/old length

scale factor = 10/2.5 = 4

The scale factor is 4.

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = - 글 x + 끝?
AveGali [126]

Given:

Consider the given equation is:

y=-\dfrac{7}{2}x+\dfrac{11}{3}

To find:

The slope of the line that is represented by the given equation.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a line is:

y=mx+b                                      ...(i)

Where, m is the slope and b is y-intercept.

We have,

y=-\dfrac{7}{2}x+\dfrac{11}{3}           ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

m=-\dfrac{7}{2}

Therefore, the slope of the given equation is -\dfrac{7}{2}.

The image of a triangle after it has been dilated with a center at the origin has vertices at A’(-12,6) B’(6,-18) and C’ if the
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

  • scale factor is 2/3.
  • coordinates of B are (9,-27).
  • coordinates of C' are : (12,18)

Step-by-step explanation:

The image of a triangle after it has been dilated with a center at the origin has vertices at A’(-12,6) B’(6,-18) and C’ .

Point A has coordinates of (-18,9) and the pre- image of C' point C has coordinates of (18,12).

Clearly when we compare point A and point A' we see that the transformation is a dilation.

let the scale factor of dilation is 'k'.

i.e. A→ A'

i.e. k(-18,9)=(-12,6)

(-18k,9k)=(-12,6)

i.e. -18k=-12

and 9k=6

Hence, on solving we get:

k=2/3

i.e. the scale factor is 2/3.

Also,

we find the coordinates of B(c,d) by:

2/3(c,d)=(6,-18)  since B→ B'

2/3×c=6

Hence c=9

and 2/3 ×d=-18

d=-27.

Hence, the coordinates of B are (9,-27).

Also the coordinates of C are (18,12)

Hence, coordinates of C' are:

(\dfrac{2}{3}\times 18,\dfrac{3}{2}\times 12)\\\\=(12,18)

Hence, the coordinates of C' are : (12,18)

distance formula

The distance formula is really just the Pythagorean Theorem in disguise. To calculate the distance AB between point A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2) , first draw a right triangle which has the segment ¯AB as its hypotenuse. Since AC is a horizontal distance, it is just the difference between the x -coordinates: (x2−x1)

slope formula

To calculate the slope of a line you need only two points from that line, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). The equation used to calculate the slope from two points is: On a graph, this can be represented as: There are three steps in calculating the slope of a straight line when you are not given its equation.

midpoint formula

The midpoint is halfway between the two end points: Its x value is halfway between the two x values. Its y value is halfway between the two y values.
