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

astra-53 [7]
<span>Think about the cones with only 1 scoop of ice cream. Isn't it clear that there are 28 of those?
Now think about the two scoop cones. You have 28 choices for the first scoop and 28 choices for the second scoop.
So the number of possibilities is 28(28).
Now think of the 3 scoop cones.
You have 28 choices for the first scoop, 28 choices for the second scoop, and 28 choices for the third scoop or 28(28)(28) possibilities.
Add them all together and you have the total.

So it will be like this:

(a): How many miles does the train travel per gallon?<br> (b):What is the slope of the graph?
drek231 [11]

since the graph has direct variation as data in x axis increases y also increases.

so we need to find how many miles travelled per galloon .

we distance travelled per gallon =total distance travelled/galoons of fuel used.

Distance travelled per gallon=200 miles/400 gallons=0.5 litres travelled per gallon

for part b) slope=rise/run

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

y2=400  y1=0 x1=0 x2=200

m=(400-0)/(200-0)=2

slope of the graph is 2

You are taking a trip at the same time as another
Valentin [98]

Answer:

My family is traveling faster, since it is traveling at the rate of 950 miles per day, while the other family travels at 900 miles per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since I am taking a trip at the same time as another family, and my family traveled 1,900 miles in 2 days, while their family traveled 2,700 miles in 3 days, to determine who is traveling faster the following calculation must be performed:

1,900 / 2 = 950

2,700 / 3 = 900

Thus, my family is traveling faster, since it is traveling at the rate of 950 miles per day, while the other family travels at 900 miles per day.
