We know the slope of this line is 1/3x, which means the slope of the line that is perpendicular to it is -3x

A slope that is perpendicular to another is the negative reciprocal of the other.

The equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 1/3x - 5 is y = -3x - 5

Question #1:

Just divide the side lengths to find the scale factor.

8 / 2 = 4.

Therefore the scale factor from MNO to M'N'O' is 4.

Question #2:

Rotation rule for 180 degree clockwise turn: (-x, -y)

Therefore your new points will be:

(5, 2), (5, 4), and (4, 4)

Is x+2=-5(y+3)^2 the equation for a line?

Anna007 [38]

I don't think this is linear. This is because in a linear equation, all variables have to be to the first power, and if they're squared, it's a quadratic function, which is most likely what this is.
Hopefully this helped!
