Step-by-step explanation:
It came from nowhere. It makes no sense to add up the balance numbers. To illustrate, let's use a different example:
Adding up the money you spent, and you get $500. Add up the balances, and you get $1000. But why would you add the balances? The 300 in the second line is included in the 400 in the first line. You can't add them together. You'd be counting the 300 twice.
Answer:
<em>B</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Dilations</u>
Given a point A(x,y) and a scale factor k the dilated image of A, called A' is calculated as A'=(kx,ky), assuming the same scale factor is applied in both axes.
The pentagon ABCDE was dilated to create pentagon A'B'C'D'E'. To find the dilaton rule used, we must find two clear points where the coordinates of both axes can be easily read from the graph.
Point C(-2,0) maps to C'(-5,0). This gives us the scale factor for the x-axis of -5/(-2)= 5/2.
The y-coordinate of E is 2 and the y-coordinate of E' is 5. This gives us the same scale factor for the y-axis of 5/2.
Thus, the rule to dilate the pentagon is:
B
