Answer:

Scale Factor = (-4,2)

Mid-point = (-3, 3/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = (x,y) be the scale factor by which the point was dilated. Using this assumption we can write that:

N+X=N^'

(6,-3)+(x,y)=(2,-1)

(6+x,-3+y)=(2,-1)

Putting the coordinates equal one by one:

For x-coordinate:

6+x=2

x=2-6

x= -4

For y-coordinate:

-3+y= -1

y= -1+3

y=2

So the scale factor was:

(-4,2)

For the mid-point of (-8,5) and (2,-2)

Mid-point=((-8+2)/2,(5-2)/2)

=((-6)/2,3/2)

=(-3,3/2)

Question 1

Let the scale factor be k.

Then, we have the mapping

N(6,-3)\to N'(6k,-3k)

This implies that:

(6k,-3k)=(2,-1)

We equate any corresponding component find the value of the scale factor k.

6k=2

k=\frac{2}{6}

k=\frac{1}{3}

Hence the scale factor is  \frac{1}{3}

Question 2:

The midpoint of any two points can be calculated using the formula;

(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

We want to find the midpoint of (-8, 5) and (2, -2).

(\frac{-8+2}{2}, \frac{5+-2}{2})

(\frac{-6}{2}, \frac{3}{2})

The midpoint is:

(-3, \frac{3}{2})

Suppose two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. What angle relationships describe congruent angles in this context?
baherus [9]

Answer:

Corresponding angles

Step-by-step explanation:

In elementary geometry the word congruent is often used as follows.

Two line segments are congruent if they have the same length.

Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure.

Two circles are congruent if they have the same diameter.

The eight angles that are produced as a result of two parallel lines are cut by a transversal will together form four pairs of corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are congruent. All angles that have the same position with regards to the parallel lines and the transversal are corresponding pairs.
