Choose the dilation that would represent a reduction

Mathematics

For this case, the first thing you should know is that there are two possible cases:

 Case 1:
 If 0 <k <1 then there is a reduction of the orignal figure.

 Case 2:
 
If k> 1 then there is an expansion of the originial figure.

 Therefore, in this case, the scale factor that represents a reduction is given by:
 k = 3/4 = 0.75 (0 <k <1)

 Answer:
 
the dilation that would represent a reduction is:
 
C. k = 3/4

The line through (-1/2, -7/2) and (2, 14) in slope intercept form??
icang [17]
To find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form given two points, we must arrange the points this way to find the slope (m):

m =  \frac{y_{2}-y _{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

We can replace the variables in this equation with the values from the points we have been given, (\frac{-1}{2},  \frac{-7}{2}) and (2, 14). We know that the x-values always come first in an ordered pair, so we can put those in our equation first.
It doesn't really matter which x-value goes in which x-value slot in the equation as long as you match up the y-values in the same fashion. But for the sake of convenience, we will call the 2 in the second ordered pair x_{2} and the \frac{-1}{2} in the first ordered pair x_{1}.
Now, we can match these values in our equation, and while we're at it, we can substitute the appropriate y-values into their places as well.

m =  \frac{y_{2}-y _{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

m =  \frac{14 -  \frac{-7}{2} }{2 -  \frac{-1}{2} }

Now, we can see that we are subtracting negatives in this equation. Remember that whenever you subtract a negative, it is the same as adding a positive. So, this equation could be rewritten as

m =  \frac{14 +  \frac{7}{2} }{2 +  \frac{1}{2} }

and we can change the improper fraction in the numerator into a mixed number for ease of addition.

m =  \frac{14 + 3 \frac{1}{2} }{2+ \frac{1}{2} }

And here, we can add, since it's made simple for us.

m =  \frac{17  \frac{1}{2} }{2  \frac{1}{2} }

Finally, to get the slope we can complete the fraction by dividing.

17.5 ÷ 2.5 = 7

The slope of this equation, m, is 7, and so far, our equation looks like this:

y = 7m + b

Now, to find y-intercept.

To do this, we simply have to substitute one of the ordered pairs in for the appropriate x- and y-values and solve. To make it easier on ourselves, we can use (2, 14) so we don't have to deal with negative numbers or fractions.

y = 7x + b

Let us substitute in our values.

14=7(2)+b

Now, we can solve by multiplying the 7 and 2.

14=14+b

Here, we can subtract 14 from both sides, since it is added to both in the equation, and we are left with

0 = b

which can be flipped around to show

b=0

The y-intercept of this line is 0.

Now, we can make this known in our equation like this:

y=7x+0

Or, for neatness' sake, we can just say

y=7x

which is your final equation.

The line through (\frac{-1}{2},  \frac{-7}{2}) and (2, 14) in slope-intercept form is <span>y=7x.
Hope that helped! =) </span>

50 points! Tell whether the orthocenter is inside, on, or outside the triangle. Then find the coordinates of the orthocenter.
Nady [450]

Answer:

  • (1,3) is inside the triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Orthocenter is the intersection of altitudes.

We'll calculate the slopes of the two sides and their altitudes ad find the intersection.

<h3>Side QR</h3>
  • m = (3 - 5)/(4 - (-1)) = -2/5

<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>

  • -1/m = 5/2

<u>Perpendicular line passes through S(-1, -2):</u>

  • y - (-2) = 5/2(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = 5/2x + 1/2
<h3>Side RS</h3>
  • m = (-2 - 3)/(-1 -4) = -5/-5 = 1

<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>

  • -1/m = -1/1 = -1

<u>Perpendicular line passes through Q(-1, 5):</u>

  • y - 5 = -(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = -x + 4

The intersection of the two lines is the orthocenter.

<u>Solve the system of equations to get the coordinates of the orthocenter:</u>

  • 5/2x + 1/2 = x + 4
  • 5x + 1 = -2x + 8
  • 7x = 7
  • x = 1

<u>Find y-coordinate:</u>

  • y = -1 + 4 = 3

The orthocenter is (1, 3)

If we plot the points, we'll see it is inside the triangle
