Answer:

see the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Figures can be proven similar if one, or more, similarity transformations (reflections, translations, rotations, dilations) can be found that map one figure onto another.

In this problem to prove circle C and circle A are similar, a translation and a scale factor (from a dilation) will be found to map one circle onto another.

we have that

Circle C is centered at (0,-1) and has a radius of 2 units

Circle A is centered at (3,4) and has a radius of 5 units

step 1

Move the center of the circle C onto the center of the circle A

the transformation has the following rule

(x,y)--------> (x+3,y+5)

(0,-1)------> (0+3,-1+5)-----> (3,4)

center circle C is now equal to center circle A

The circles are now concentric (they have the same center)

step 2

A dilation is needed to increase the size of circle C to coincide with circle A

scale factor=radius circle A/radius circle C-----> 5/2=2.5

radius circle C will be=2*scale factor-----> 2*2.5=5 units

radius circle C is now equal to radius circle A

therefore

A translation, followed by a dilation will map one circle onto the other, thus proving that the circles are similar

Equation for ( 6, 13) ( 7900, 5 )

tia_tia [17]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y=mx+b$

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have the following points through which the line passes:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 6,13)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (7900,5)$

We find the slope of the line:

$m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {5-13} {7900-6} = \frac {-8} {7894} = - \frac {4} {3947}$

Thus, the equation of the line is of the form:

$y = - \frac {4} {3947} x + b$

We substitute one of the points and find b:

$13 = - \frac {4} {3947} (6) + b\\13 = - \frac {24} {3947} + b\\13+ \frac {24} {3947} = b\\b = \frac {51335} {3947}$

Finally, the equation is:

$y = - \frac {4} {3947} x + \frac {51335} {3947}$

Answer:

$y = - \frac {4} {3947} x + \frac {51335} {3947}$

20 POINT QUESTION!!!

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Graph A

Step-by-step explanation:

For each piece of the function the first number is included (0, 4, 8) and second number excluded (4, 8, 12). Included points are solid and excluded are open dots.

It's correctly reflected in A graph only.

Could someone please explain how to plot the x-intercept of the first equation and what the answer would be?

Elis [28]

Answer:

You would start in the middle of the number line, move right to positive 4x then move up 2 units to land right in line with 2y this is where your plot would be.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps mark brainliest please!

7.1 as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form?

Andreas93 [3]

The simpliest form is 71/10, the fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this isn't a really small (1/1000000000) or really big (like the radius of the earth) number you don't need the standard notation, so the fraction 71/10 is the simpliest because there is only a decimal, so it can be a fraction of ten.
