Answer:

We conclude that the constant of dilation is: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when an object is dilated by a scale factor, it gets reduced, stretched, or remains the same, depending upon the value of the scale factor.

  • If the scale factor > 1, the image is enlarged
  • If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, it gets shrunk
  • If the scale factor = 1, the object and the image are congruent

The coordinates of the image point can be determined by multiplying the coordinates of the original point by a certain scale factor.

Given the point A'(12, 4) is the image of A(3, 1).

It is clear that the image point A'(12, 4) is enlarged 4 times of the original point A(3, 1).

It means the image point A'(12, 4) is determined when the original point A(3, 1) is dilated by a scale factor of 4.

i.e.

A(3, 1) → A'(4(3), 4(1)) → A' (12, 4)

Therefore, the rule of dilation by a scale factor 4 is:

P(x, y) → P'(4x, 4y)

Hence, we conclude that the constant of dilation is: 4

Using y=mx+b find the slope for<br> 7) 8x + 3y = −9
malfutka [58]

Answer:

-8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 3y = - 9

Let's make y the subject of the formula.

y = - 9/3 - 8x/3

Rearrange

y = - 8x/3 - 3

The slope is the coefficient of x which is - 8/3

Using a metric line as taught in your lesson, convert the following metric measurement. (Remember to use the same number of sign
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to express 505 kL in L.

Here, kL means kiloliter and L means liter.

We know that

1 kL = 1000 L

Using this conversion we can easily convert 505 kL in L.

Multiply both sides by 505.

505 × 1 kL = 505 × 1000 L

505 kL = 505,000 L

The value of 505 kL can be expressed as 505,000 L.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
