Answer:
A)segment A"B"= AB / 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle A″B″C″ is formed using the translation (x + 2, y + 0) and the dilation by a scale factor of one half from the origin. Which equation explains the relationship between segment AB and segment A"B"?
coordinate plane with triangle ABC at A(-3, 3), B(1, -3), and C(-3, -3)
A)segment A"B"= AB / 2
B)segment AB = segment A"B"/ 2
C)segment AB / segment A"B"= 1/2
D)segment A"B" / segment AB = 2
A"B" = AB / 2
Because
1. translations do not change the lengths of segments, so (x+2, y+0) preserves the length of AB, i.e. mA'B' = mAB
2. Dilation causes the new segment to be transformed to a new length according to the old length * the scale factor of (1/2).
Therefore A"B" = (1/2)AB, or AB/2.
Answer: Choice B
(-2, 5)
==================================================
Explanation:
The original system is
Multiply both sides of the second equation by 3. Doing so leads to this updated system of equations
Now add straight down
The x terms add to -4x+3x = -1x = -x
The y terms add to 3y+(-3y) = 0y = 0
The terms on the right hand sides add to 23+(-21) = 2
We end up with the equation -x = 2 which solves to x = -2
Now use this to find y. You can pick any equation with x,y in it
----------------
-4x+3y = 23
-4(-2)+3y = 23
8+3y = 23
3y = 23-8
3y = 15
y = 15/3
y = 5
Or
x-y = -7
-2-y = -7
-y = -7+2
y = -5
y = 5
Either way, we get the same y value.
So that's why the solution is (x,y) = (-2, 5)
