Need help with dilation with a scale factor of 1/2 centered at (−1, 3)
1 answer:
A scale factor of 1/2 makes the triangle half the size of the original.
The original is 4 units tall, so 1/2 scale makes the new one 2 units tall.
It is 6 units long, so 1/2 would be 3 units long.
Now since the scale factor is centered at (-1,3) fine the midpoint between The top left corner of the triangle and the center point:
Midpoint ( -1-5/2 , 3+7/2)
Midpoint = (-6/2 , 10/2)
Midpoint = -3,5
This is where the top left corner of the scaled triangle would be.

<u>Given</u>:
The given function which models the value of Mark’s car, where x represents the number of years since he purchased the car.
We need to determine the approximate value of Mark's car after 7 years.
<u>Value of the car:</u>
The value of the car after 7 years can be determined by substituting x = 7 in the function , we get;
Rounding off to the nearest dollar, we get;
Thus, the approximate value of Mark's car after 7 years is $14278.
Hence, Option a is the correct answer.
