Hey there! Thanks for asking your question here on Brainly!

First, we'll need to get common denominators in each of the two fractions. This can be done by multiplying 1/2 by 5/5 and 1/5 by 1/2.

1/2 x 5/5 = 5/10

1/5 x 1/2 = 1/10

Next, since we now have common denominators, we can simply add the numerators of the fractions together. When adding or subtracting fractions, we have to get common denominators, then add the numerators together. In the final answer, the denominators will remain the same and will not be added together as we would do with the numerators.

5/10 + 1/10 = 6/10

Lastly, we'll need to simplify the fraction. Both the numerator and denominator can be divided by two.

(6/10) / 2 = 3/5

Our final answer is 3/5!

Hope this helps!! :)

Triangle ABC was dilated with the origin as the center of dilation to create triangle A'B'C'. The triangle was dilated using a s

victus00 [196]

Answer:

$A'(-0.25,0.75)\\\\B'(1.75,-0.25)\\\\C'(-1,-0.25)$

Step-by-step explanation:

A Dilation is defined as a transformation in which the image and the pre-image have the same shape, but their sizes are different.

When the scale factor is greater than 1, the image obtained after the dilation is greater than the pre-image and it is an "Enlargement".

When the scale factor is is between 0 and 1, the image obtained after the dilation is smaller than the pre-image and it is an "Reduction".

In this case you know that the triangle ABC was dilated by this scale factor:

$scale\ factor=\frac{1}{4}$

With the origin as the center of dilation.

Since:

$0$

It is a Reduction.

You can identify that the vertices of the triangle ABC are:

$A(-1,3)\\\\B(7,-1)\\\\C(-4,-1)$

So you need to multiply the coordinates of each vertex of the triangle ABC by $\frac{1}{4}$ , in order to get the coordinates of the triangle A'B'C. Then, you get:

$A'=(\frac{1}{4}(-1),\frac{1}{4}(3))=(-0.25,0.75)\\\\B'(\frac{1}{4}(7),\frac{1}{4}(-1))=(1.75,-0.25)\\\\C'(\frac{1}{4}(-4),\frac{1}{4}(-1))=(-1,-0.25)$
