Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle ABC with vertices A(0, 0), B(0, 4), and C(6, 0) is dilated to form a triangle A'B'C' with vertices A′(0, 0), B′(0, 10), and C′(15, 0). If the center of dilation is point A or A' (the origin), then

\dfrac{A'B'}{AB}=\dfrac{A'C'}{AC}.

Since

  • AB=4;
  • A'B'=10;
  • AC=6;
  • A'C'=15,

then the scale factor of the dilation is

k=\dfrac{10}{4}=\dfrac{15}{6}=2.5.

can you help me evaluate this: 7m + 14m - 6n - 5n + 2m. why do you add 6n with 5n instead of subtract?
Mademuasel [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is because it is not just 6 it is - 6 so when there are two negative numbers they don't subtract they add if it was 6n then it was to be subtracted

21m - 11n + 2m

23m - 11n
