Answer:
The scale factor is not 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for the dilated triangles
Triangle ABC is dilated through center point O to form triangle A'B'C'.
From the attachment, we have:
i.e. the distance from the center point to C
and
i.e. the distance from the center point to C'
The length of OC' is calculated using:
The scale factor (k) is then calculated by dividing OC' by OC
Hence, Tiffany's claim is incorrect.
You'll be using point slope form to solve this.
As the name suggests, you'll need the slope as well as a point. To find the slope use the slope formula:
Plug in the points.
The slope of this line is 5.
Point slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1), so plug in the slope and a point into this equation. I'll use (0,8).
y-(8) = 5(x-(0))
1. Write this out without parentheses.
y-8 = 5(x)
2. Multiply 5 and x.
y-8 = 5x
3. Add 8 to both sides.
y = 5x+8

Answer is:
y = 5x+8
