Describe a similarity transformation that maps △ABC

Let's start with a picture.

We see RST is smaller, and BC is parallel to but in the opposite direction to its corresponding segment ST.  Both have slope -1.

If we look at the difference of points (technically called vectors but we don't have to go there) we get

C-B=(-2,2)

T-S=(1,-1)

Without further calculation we can see T-S is half the length of C-B.

The problem asks for a dilation followed by a reflection.   We know the dilation scale is k=1/2 because the new triangle is half the size.  

After dilation we get A'B'C':

A'(3,2), B'(-1,0), C'(-2,1)

We see now we need a reflection that flips the coordinates x and y.  That's the +45° line through the origin, namely y=x.

Answer: k=1/2, y=x

Answer:

  see second attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔRST is smaller, so the scale factor must be less than 1. The only available answer choice is k = 1/2.

When you scale ΔABC by 1/2, you get A'(3, 2), B'(-1, 0), C'(-2, 1). Comparing these coordinates to R, S, T, we find the x-, and y-values are swapped. This indicates a reflection across the line y=x.

____

In the graph, ΔA'B'C' is purple, ΔRST is blue.

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line that satisfies the given set slope of 4/5, passes through (10,-30
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

y + 30 = 4/5(x - 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the slope, 4/5, and point (10, -30):

We can plug these values into the point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Let (x1, y1) = (10, -30)

and m = 4/5

y - (-30) = 4/5(x - 10)

y + 30 = 4/5(x - 10)

Therefore, the point-slope form is y + 30 = 4/5(x - 10)

What does x equal in this equation: 24+3x=3x+3(7-1) Please help this is due tomorrow!
Zinaida [17]

                                              24 + 3x = 3x + 3(7 - 1)

Eliminate the parentheses:    24 + 3x = 3x + 3(6)

                                              24 + 3x = 3x + 18

Subtract  3x  from each side:       <em>24  =  18</em>

Look at that for a second.  Can ANY value of 'x' make 24 equal to 18 ?
I don't think so.
There's NO number that makes the equation a true statement.

That's just another way to say: "The equation has NO solution."
