Answer:
z = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the points are collinear then the slopes between the points are equal.
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = P (2, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = Q (3, - 2)
m = = 1
Repeat with
(x₁, y₁ ) = Q (3, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = R (8, z )
m = =
, then
= 1 ( multiply both sides by 5 )
z + 2 = 5 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
z = 3
Answer:
See Attachment.
Step-by-step explanation:
To create the new figure, we must multiply each coordinate by the scale factor, which is 1/2 in this case.
So j(-2,2) becomes j'(-1,1)
K(4,2) becomes K'(2,1)
L(4,-2) becomes L'(2,-1)
and M (-2,-2) becomes M'(-1,-1)
The scale factor is between 1 and 0 which means that this dilation is a reduction that will shrink the original figure to a smaller one.
