The input values that would produce that output value, we set the output equal to the function's formula and solve for the input.
This one is a bit confusing without a diagram anyway. We'll assume the typical labeling where A and B are consecutive angles, so the transverse line AB through the parallels makes A and B supplementary:
A + B = 180 degrees
12x + 46 + 7x + 1 = 180
19x = 180 - 47 = 133
x = 133/19 - 7
Find the x-intercept(s). To find the x-intercept let y = 0 and solve for x. You can solve for x by using the square root principle or the quadratic formula (if you simplify the problem into the correct form).
Given that the triangle is dilated by factor 3, the image will be found as follows;
The object is at:
A(-7,-3), B(-3,-2), C(-4,-5)
when the image was enlarged the new coordinates will be:
A'=3(-7,-3)=(-21,-9)
B'=3(-3,-2)=(-9,-6)
C'=3(-4,-5)=(-12,-15)
since the image is centered at the point (-7,-6), the final point will be at:
A"=[(-21+-7),(-9+-6)=(-28,-15)
B''=[(-9+-7),(-6+-6)]=(-16,-12)
C''=[(-12+-7),(-15+-6)]=(-19,-17)
thus the coordinates of the final image are:
A''(-28,-15),B''(-16,-12),C''(-19,-17)
