The coordinates of △ABC are A(12,8), B(10,18), C(4,16) . After a dilation, the coordinates are A'(6,4), B'(5,9), C'(2,8) A′(6,4)
gogolik [260]
Take note of that every single coordinate had their values divided by 2 after the dilation. Therefore, the scaling factor is 1/2, or .5
Scale factor is always (new/original)
so it depends which rectangle came first. if it started as large and was dilated to the smaller one, then the ratio is (.5/2.5) which simplifies to 1/5 or 0.2.
Answer:
-11
Step-by-step explanation:
The generic solution to ...
- a + b = sum
- a - b = difference
Can be found by adding the two equations:
(a+b) + (a-b) = (sum) + (difference)
2a = (sum + difference)
a = (sum + difference)/2
___
Our particular solution is ...
a = (-44 +22)/2 = -11
The greater of the two numbers is -11.
___
The other number is -33.
A is the only equation that would reflect this table
