Given:

Point A'(6,3) is a dilation of point A(18,9).

To find:

The scale factor.

Solution:

We know that, if a point P is dilated by factor k and origin is the center of dilation, then

P(x,y)\to P'(kx,ky)

Let the scale factor for the given problem be k. So,

A(18,9)\to A'(18k,9k)

On comparing A'(18k,9k) and A'(6,3), we get

18k=6\text{ and }9k=3

k=\dfrac{6}{18}\text{ and }k=\dfrac{3}{9}

k=\dfrac{1}{3}\text{ and }k=\dfrac{1}{3}

Therefore, the scale factor is \dfrac{1}{3}.

JL = 28,<br> KL= 5x + 6, and<br> JK = 3x + 6,
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

KL = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, JL is the sum of KL and JK.  So we can say this:

JK + KL = JL

( 3x + 6 ) + ( 5x + 6 ) = 28

8x + 12 = 28

8x = 16

x = 2

So, now we can find KL:

5x + 6 = ?

5(2) + 6 = ?

10 + 6 = ?

16 = ?

So the length of KL is 16.

Cheers.
