Triangle ABC has vertices A(5, 3) , B(3, 7) , and C(1, 4) . Triangle ABC is dilated, and the vertices of the image are A′(7.5, 4

.5) , B′(4.5, 10.5) , and C′(1.5, 6) . The center of dilation is the origin.

Hello,

To find the scale factor, we have to look at what's going on in the problem. 

In point A, we are converting from (5, 3) to (7.5, 4.5).

We can write and solve equation to find the change (scale factor)

5x = 7.5  and 3x = 4.5

If you solve either equation, you will find the scale factor is 1.5.

Good luck,

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the expression is correct.

Since she wants to price (p) her used books with a 50% gross profit, to do this she has to multiply the cost of the books (c ) by a percent increase (1 + %/100).

So, for a 50% gross

p = (1 + 50/100) c = (1+ 0.5 )c  

p= 1.5c

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

How do I solve this?? pic attached

Answer:

y=-⅓x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the new line we need to make must be parallel to the old one the number changing x must stay the same. this means that that we will still have -⅓ X. Now that we have part of the line formula, we can try to fit it to the point. Because the X is equal to 9, -1/3*9 is -3. To get it to the correct point, we have to add 7, so that our Y is 4. If we combine the two parts of the equation, we get Y=-⅓x+7
