What is the image of (-9, 2) after a dilation by a scale factor of 3 centered at the origin?

Mathematics

Burka [1]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The image of the point is (-27, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let us talk about the dilation</em>

  • Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure. It can become larger or smaller, but the shape of the figure does not change.
  • The scale factor of dilation measures how much larger or smaller the image will be. If the scale factor greater than 1, then the image will be larger.  If the scale factor between 0 and 1, then the image will be smaller
  • If the point (x, y) is dilated by scale factor k and the center of dilation is the origin, then its image will be (kx, ky)

∵ Point (-9, 2) is dilated by a scale factor 3

∴ k = 3

∵ The center of dilation is the origin

→ Multiply the coordinates of the point by 3 to find the image

∴ The image = (3 × -9, 3 × 2)

∴ The image = (-27, 6)

The image of the point is (-27, 6)

Monica [59]
Write an equation to show all elements:

Cost of 4 lots of b (beads) + cost of 4p (pendants) = $18.80

Put values in;
9.29 + 4p = 18.80
4p = 18.80 - 9.20
4p = 9.60
p = 2.40 cost of each pendant

The number 9.37 rounded to the nearest tenth is 9.4 Is this correct?y or y not
PSYCHO15rus [73]
Yes, this is correct. The tenths place is the first number to the right of the decimal. There is a 3 in that spot
To find if it rounds up or down, follow this rule.
Less than 5 round down and greater than 5 round up.
For this you look to the number next to it which is 7.
It rounds up so it is 9.4

disa [49]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the big dog weighs 120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

big dog = b    

medium dog = m

small dog = s

Equations

       b = 5s

       m = 12 + s

       s = 2/3 m

Process

1.- Substitute m in the last equation

       s = 2/3(12 + s)

       s = 24/3 + 2/3s

       s - 2/3s = 8

       1/3 s = 8

             s = 8(3)

             s = 24 pounds

2.- Substitute s in the first equation

        b = 5(24)

        b = 120 pounds
