If the point (-6,4) is dialated by a scale factor of 1/2, what would be the resulting point

1 answer:

3 0

It depend on the center of the dilation. For example, if the point (-6,4) is the center itself, than it will remain the same.

If the dilation has the origin as center, instead, the factor 1/2 simply means that you have to divide all coordinates by 2: the point (-6,4) becomes the point (-3,2)

What is the square root of 12 simplified? Is it 2 times the square root of 3?

blagie [28]

Answer: Yes, it is $2\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify square roots, you can factor the number inside the square root into its lowest common denominators.

$\sqrt{12}=\sqrt{4*3} =\sqrt{2*2*3}$

Any value that appears twice can be "taken out" of the square root and moved to the left of it:

$2\sqrt{3}$ ,

What you are doing is essentially taking the square root of 4 and the square root of 3. Because the square root of 4 can be simplified, and the square root of 3 cannot, this is the most simplified version of the expression we can reach.

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (8, 1) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=−2/3x+5

Kazeer [188]

Y = -2/3x + 5....the slope here is -2/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, we flip the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of 3/2 (see how I flipped -2/3 making it -3/2....and then changed the sign, making it 3/2)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
(8,1)....x = 8 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y int
1 = 3/2(8) + b
1 = 12 + b
1 - 12 = b
-11 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 3/2x - 11 <==
