Remember the formula y = mx+b.
'm' in mx is the slope.
'b' is the y-intercept.
So in the equation y = -3x - 3...
The slope is -3. The y-intercept is -3.

Given the triangle
PQR
with points
P(8,0)
Q(6,2)
R(-2,-4)
And the triangle
P'Q'R'
with points
P'(4,0)
Q'(3,1)
R'(-1,-2)
Part A. Scale factor
Using the vertex
P( 8, 0)
P'(4,0)
the dilatation factor is given by

The triangle has a dilatation factor of 1/2
Part B:
P''Q''R'' after using P'Q'R' reflected about the y axis
to make a reflection over the y axis
coordinates (x,y) turn into coordinates (-x,y)
as follows



Then triangle P''Q''R'' has coordinates
P''(-4,0)
Q''(-3,1)
R''(1,-2)
Part C:
PQR is congruent to P''Q''R''?
Congruent triangles are triangles that have the same size and shape. This means that the corresponding sides are equal and the corresponding angles are equal.
Then the triangles are not congruent
y = mx + b, where m = slope, and b = y-intercept.
Since you are not given the y-intercept, you have to solve for it through the equation, y = (4/5)x (which is the slope you are given) + b, and replace x and y with values given, which are (-5,-3)
y = (4/5)x + b
-3 = (4/5)(-5) + b
-3 = -4 + b
1 = b
Then replace b in the first equation to get the answer
y = (4/5)x + 1
Answer:
It's proportional.
Step-by-step explanation:
Proportional means a straight line, like a parallel line.
