A scale factor of 1/2 makes the triangle half the size of the original.
The original is 4 units tall, so 1/2 scale makes the new one 2 units tall.
It is 6 units long, so 1/2 would be 3 units long.
Now since the scale factor is centered at (-1,3) fine the midpoint between The top left corner of the triangle and the center point:
Midpoint ( -1-5/2 , 3+7/2)
Midpoint = (-6/2 , 10/2)
Midpoint = -3,5
This is where the top left corner of the scaled triangle would be.
See attached picture:
The y intercept is 4, and the x intercept is 0.
Answer:
181 is the longest side. the hyp is the longest side of a right triangle.
The perimeter is 10 try to draw these points on the graph and count the distance between each or you can just look at the coordinates and find the distance and then add length and width
Eliminate y's
multiply second equaiton by 4
4x+4y=-4
add to first equation
3x-4y=-24
<u>4x+4y=-4 +</u>
7x+0y=-28
7x=-28
divide both sides by 7
x=-4
sub back
x+y=-1
-4+y=-1
add 4 to both sides
y=3
(x,y)
(-4,3)
