<span>Dilations produce similar figures because the image and pre-image will have congruent corresponding angles. The corresponding side lengths of the figures will be proportional based on the scale factor. The shape is preserved and the sides are enlarged or reduced by the scale factor.

A dilation can elongate or diminish a figure. It can create an image the same as the original by using a scale factor. The scale factor of a dilation is the ratio of corresponding side lengths.  To dilate a polygon, multiply the coordinates of each vertex by the scale factor k and connect the vertices.

Find the midpoint of the segment between the points (17,−11) and (−14,−16)
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

(1.5, -13.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint Formula: (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )

Simply plug in our coordinates into the formula:

x = (17 - 14)/2

x = 3/2

y = (-11 - 16)/2

y = -27/2

factorise the following 1. x²-2x+15.... 2. y²-19y+90​
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

1. x²-2x+15

This can't be factored, I've tried multiple ways now, but it just can't be factored.

2. y²-19y+90​

Let's factor y^2−19y+90

y^2−19y+90

The middle number is -19 and the last number is 90.

Factoring means we want something like

(y+_)(y+_)

Which numbers go in the blanks?

We need two numbers that...

   Add together to get -19

   Multiply together to get 90

Can you think of the two numbers?

Try -9 and -10:

   -9+-10 = -19

   -9*-10 = 90

Fill in the blanks in

(y+_)(y+_)

with -9 and -10 to get...

(y-9)(y-10)

Answer:

(y−9) (y−10)
