So, a coordinate plane is made out of two axis, the x and the y. Through these, we have grid squares on the plane showing points. So, each square would be one point. To find the <u>rate of change, or slope,</u> you would have to use the formula:

y(#2) - y(#1)

------------------ = Divided by

x(#2) - y(#1)

This formula will calculate the rate of change. I will do the first one for you as follows.

The first point I would find would be (1,3). 1 space on the X-axis, 3 on the Y-axis.

To write a ordered pair to represent the point on the plane, use the (X,Y).

Then, I'd find the second point.

Following the second point, I would do the equation like so.

y(2) - 3

-----------------

x(2) - 1

See, I used the first points given as the last X and Y variables in the formula.

Hope this helps you out!

triangle AMY ~ MEG , AM = 5 MY=7 AY =3. MEG IS A DILATION of AMY by a scale facyor of 1/3. fimd the perimeter of MEG.

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question, we're told that triangles AMY and MEG are similar. If triangle AMY has sides AM = 5, MY = 7, and AY = 3 then we can find the side lengths of triangle MEG since we're told from the question that it is a dilation of AMY by a scale factor of 1/3.

So all we need to is multiply the corresponding sides of AMY by 1/3, so we'll have;

$\begin{gathered} ME=5\ast\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5}{3} \\ EG=7\ast\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{3} \\ MG=3\ast\frac{1}{3}=3 \end{gathered}$

We can then go ahead and find the perimeter of MEG. Note that to find the perimeter of a triangle, we add all the length of its sides;

$\begin{gathered} \text{Perimeter of MEG}=\frac{5}{3}+\frac{7}{3}+3 \\ =\frac{5+7+9}{3} \\ =\frac{21}{3} \\ =7 \end{gathered}$

The perimeter of MEG is 7.
