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.

Is this right I need help with this

Y axis is counting by 2's
it started at 2 and went up to 6
Y = 4

X axis is counting by 2'2
starts at one goes to 3
X = 2

Slope is 4/2 because rise over run
4/2 = 2
Slope is simplified to 2.

How to isolate a variable
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The basic technique to isolate a variable is to “do something to both sides” of the equation, such as add, subtract, multiply, or divide both sides of the equation by the same number. By repeating this process, we can get the variable isolated on one side of the equation.
