To know if a dilation is an expansion ( bigger) r a contraction ( smaller) ignore the negative sign.

If the number is larger than 1, it is an expansion, if the number is smaller than 1 it is a contraction.

-4 is an expansion

2.5 is an expansion

2/3 is a contraction

-3/4 is a contraction

3 are left.
3/7 means there were 7 slices, but it's missing 4 slices. (Eaten)

i hope this helps :)

Find an equation for the plane through the points p=(0,0,0), q=(0,1,0), and r=(1,2,3)

jek_recluse [69]

Hello,

Assume Ax+By+Cz+D=0 the plane 's equation.

p=(0,0,0)==>A*0+B*0+C*0+D=0==>D=0

q=(0,1,0)==>A*0+B*1+C*0+0=0==>B=0

r=(1,2,3)==>A*1+0*2+C*3+0=0==>A=-3C
Let C=1==>A=-3

An equation of the plane is -3x+z=0

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (6,2) (4,1)

Alisiya [41]

Answer: y=1/2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line that passes through the points, we need to find out slope, m.

$m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

We plug our points into this formula to find slope.

$m=\frac{1-2}{4-6} =\frac{-1}{-2} =\frac{1}{2}$

Our slope is 1/2. To find our y-intercept, b, we would plug any point into the equation for slope-intercept form.

y=mx+b

y=1/2x+b

1=1/2(4)+b

1=2+b

b=-1

Now that we know b, our equation is y=1/2x-1.

How do you write the equation of a line and stop intercept form from that passes through the point -3, 5

mr_godi [17]

Y=2/3x -5/2

Slope is equal to the parallel line (2/3)
Find y intercept by setting y and x equal the given coordinates and solve.
