What is the scale factor (k) of the dilation if C is (-6,9) and C' is (-2,3)?

Answer:

The scale factor from C' to C is

3

But the scale factor from C to C' (the one you may have asked for in the question) is

\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

What we already know is that we have line segments C and C' and we know their lengths.

C = (-6, 9)

C' = (-2, 3)

So the scale factor from C' to C can be easily known if we simply use the rules of division

-6 ÷ -2

and

9 ÷ 3

They both are equal to the outcome, 3.

So we now know that the scale factor from C' to C is 3.

But what about C to C'??

Yes we still have to do division, BUT (you may have guessed it already but), we must switch the positions that the numbers for dividend and divisor were.

-2 ÷ -6 =

0.33333333...  or  \frac{1}{3}

3 ÷ 9 =

0.33333333...  or  \frac{1}{3}

So we can decisively conclude that the scale factor of C to C' is \frac{1}{3}

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the original coordinate as C (-6, 9) and new coordinates after dilation as C' (-2, 3), we can see that the value of the new coordinates has reduces by a factor. Let the factor be k

For the x coordinates:

C' = kC

x' = kx

-2 = k(-6)

-2 = -6k

Divide both sides by -6

k = -2/-6

k = 1/3

For the y-coordinates:

y' = ky

3 = 9k

Divide both sides by 9:

3/9 = 9k/9

1/3 = k

k = 1/3

Hence the scale factor of the dilation is 1/3

Find the equation of a line that contains the points (3,7) and (-6, 4). Write the equation in slope-intercept form, using
NikAS [45]

Answer:

y=\frac{1}{3} x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

(3,7)(-6,4)

Step 1. Find the slope (by using the slope-formula)

m = slope

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{4-7}{-6-3}

m=\frac{-3}{-9}

m=\frac{3}{9}

m=\frac{1}{3}

Step 2. Write the equation (using the slope and the points)

Here's how to do it:

Slope-intercept Formula y=mx+b whrere m = slope and b = y-intercept

Plug in the slope into the Slope-intercept Formula

y=\frac{1}{3} x+b

Find the y-intercept (b) by using a point and substituting their x and y values

y=\frac{1}{3} x+b

Point: (3, 7)

7=\frac{1}{3} (3)+b

7=1+b

b=7-1

b=6

Step 3. Write the equation in Slope-intercept form

y=mx+b

y=\frac{1}{3} x+6

The area of a triangle is comtinous or discrete
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is continuous. It can be any measure of fraction or decimal depending on the side lengths. It has no restrictions to be only whole  numbers or a specific set of numbers.

a hexagon inscribed in a circle has three consecutive sides each of length 3 and three consecutive sides each of length 5. the c
allochka39001 [22]

According to given conditions, m+n is equal to 409.

Consider the diagram below.

In the hexagon ABCDEF, let

AB = BC = CD = 3;

DE = EF = FA = 5;

Arc BAF is equal to one-third of the circle's circumference.

Hence, ∠BCF = ∠BEF = 60°;

Similarly, ∠CBE = ∠CFE = 60°;

Let the point of intersection of BE and CF be P, BE and AD be Q and CF and AD be R.

∴ Δ EFP and Δ BCP are equilateral, and so Δ PQR is also equilateral.

Also, ∠ BAD and ∠ BED subtend the same arc and so do ∠ ABE and ∠ ADE.

∴ Δ ABQ is similar to Δ EDQ

\frac{AQ}{EQ}  = \frac{BQ}{DQ} = \frac{AB}{ED} = \frac{3}{5}

Also,

\frac{\frac{AD - PQ}{2} }{PQ + 5} = \frac{3}{5}  

and \frac{3 - PQ}{\frac{AD + PQ}{2} }  = \frac{3}{5}

On solving these simultaneous equations, we get AD = 360/49

∴ m + n = 409.

faltersainse [42]
If there were 180 taking the survey and 95 were female, that means that there were 85 males.

Since only 21 of the males said red was their favorite color, we can write the fraction 21/85.

21 / 85 x 100 = 24.7%

24.7% of the males said red was their favorite color.
