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})

Part A: Solve −np − 80 < 60 for n. Show your work. (4 points)
morpeh [17]
Solution:

1) Add 80 to both sides
-np<60+80

2) Simplify 60+80 to 140
-np<140

3) Divide both sides by p
-n<\frac{140}{p}​​

4) Multiply both sides by -1
n>-\frac{140}{p}

Done!
