Answer:

First box plot

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, the options are shown.

The left end of the box is the lower quartile (also called quartile 1 or Q1)

The right end of the box is the upper quartile (also called quartile 3 or Q3)}

The interquartile range (IQR) is computed as follows:

IQR = Q3 - Q1

If Q1 = 3 and IQR = 5, then Q3 = 5 + 3 = 8

The first box plot is the only one with a lower quartile of 3 and an interquartile range of 5

Graph the image of the given triangle under a dilation with a scale factor of −2 and center of dilation (0, 0) .

Ronch [10]

To dilate an object means to enlarge or reduce the size of the object. The scale factor will determine how much larger or smaller the object will become. If this factor is greater than 1, the object will increase in size. Otherwise, if the factor is less than 1, the object will decrease in size. So, the dilated object will be similar to its original. On the other hand, when corresponding points of the original and dilated figures are connected by straight lines, the center of dilation is the point where all the lines meet. In this problem, the center is (0, 0). When the center is the origin we need to multiply all the original coordinates of the object by the scale factor given. So:

$A(-4, 1) \rightarrow A'=-2(-4,1) \rightarrow A'(8,-2) \\ \\ B(-3, -4) \rightarrow B'=-2(-3,-4) \rightarrow B'(6,8) \\ \\ C(-2, -2) \rightarrow C'=-2(-2,-2) \rightarrow C'(4,4)$
