Answer:

$Slope\:\: \overline{AC} =1$

Step-by-step explanation:

A is on the same point on the x-axis as B and the same point on the y-axis as D

Therefore, the coordinate of A is (0,0)

C is on the same point on the x-axis as D and the same point on the y-axis as B.

Therefore, the coordinate of C is (a,a)

We are to determine the slope of the line joining A to C.

$Slope, m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\(x_1,y_1)=(0,0),(x_2,y_2)=(a,a)\\$Therefore, Slope of AC$\\m =\dfrac{a-0}{a-0}\\=\dfrac{a}{a}\\\\=1$

$Slope\:\: \overline{AC} =1$

Digiron [165]

You would divide £52.65 by 27 to find out what 1 packet costs, thus leads us to £1.95. Then you would do £1.95 x 35 as there are 35 packets to get the answer £68.25

Graph the image of the figure after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/3 centered at (1, −2) . Use the polygon tool to graph th

brilliants [131]

Answer:

New image will have (2,1) , (-2,0) and (-2,-2) as new vertex.

Below is the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangle with points (4,7) , (-8,4) and (-8,-2) having dilation center at (1,-2) .

We have to dilate using a factor of 1/3 and graph the new image.

Let us find all the three points,

Formula,

New point = [old point - dilation center]* scale factor + dilation center

So,

For (4,7)

$[(4,7)- (1,-2)]*\frac{1}{3} + (1,-2)$

$[3,9]*\frac{1}{3} +(1,-2)$

$[1,3]+(1,-2)= (2,1)$

For (-8,4)

$[(-8,4)- (1,-2)]*\frac{1}{3} + (1,-2)$

$[-9,6]*\frac{1}{3} +(1,-2)$

$[-3,2]+(1,-2)= (-2,0)$

For (-8,-2)

$[(-8,-2)- (1,-2)]*\frac{1}{3} + (1,-2)$

$[-9,0]*\frac{1}{3} +(1,-2)$

$[-3,0]+(1,-2)= (-2,-2)$

Therefore these (2,1) , (-2,0) and (-2,-2) are the new vertices after dilation.
