Answer:

3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the centre of dilatation is at the origin then multiply the coordinates by $\frac{1}{3}$

K (- 3, 9 ) → K' (- 3( $\frac{1}{3}$ ), 9( $\frac{1}{3}$ ) ) → K' (- 1, 3 )

L (- 9, 0 ) → L' (- 9( $\frac{1}{3}$ ), 0 ( $\frac{1}{3}$ ) ) → L' (- 3, 0 )

M (2, - 8 ) → M' (2 ( $\frac{1}{3}$ ), - 8 ( $\frac{1}{3}$ ) ) → M' ( $\frac{2}{3}$ , - $\frac{8}{3}$ )

N (6, 4 ) → N' (6 ( $\frac{1}{3}$ ) , 4 ( $\frac{1}{3}$ ) ) → N' ( 2, $\frac{4}{3}$ )

Find all real numbers s such that -2(s - 7) > 4s + 8. Give your answer as an interval.

aev [14]

If -2 (s - 7) > 4s + 8
then -2s + 14 > 4s + 8
14 - 8 > 4s + 2s
6 > 6s

∴ all real numbers s such that -2(s - 7) > 4s + 8 are s < 1

∑i=2i=10(4+2n)= You can do it by hand, w/o much work . plug in n=2 into (4+2n) then plug in n=3 into (4+2n) then plug in n=4 into (4+2n) etc until you get to n=10. Add them all up.
add 8 + 10 + 12 + 14 + 16 + 18 + 20 + 22 + 24
144 jumps!
