Answer: The scale factor of the dilation is 0.5.
Explanation:
It is given that ABCD is polygon which is reflected and dilated , then we get PQRS.
The vertices of ABCD are (2, 2), (6, 8), (12, 8), and (16, 2) respectively. The vertices of image PQRS are (11, 15),(9, 12), (6, 12), and (4, 15) respectively.
The reflection affects the coordinates but does not affect the length of the sides.
But when we talk about dilation it affects the length of sides according to the scale factor or a constant factor.
If a line segment AB is dilated by scale factor k then length of A'B' is k times length of AB.
.... (1)
So we have to find any side length of preimage and the side length of that side in image. it means we have to find AB and PQ.
Use distance formula to find the side length.
It is noticed that the size of side in preimage is and the size of same side in image is
.
Using equation (1), we get
Hence, the value of scale factor is 0.5.
Answer:
Option A is correct.
The function for the given graph is;
Step-by-step explanation:
An exponential function is in the form of ......[1] where a is the initial value and b≠ 0 , b >1 .
Given two points as shown in figure i.e,
let A = (0, 2) and B = (1,8)
Substitute these points in equation [1] we have;
For A = (0,2)
= a
⇒ a = 2
and
for B = (1, 8)
or
Substitute the value of a=2 in above equation to solve for b;
2b = 8
divide both sides by 2 we get;
b = 4
Then, the function for the graph is, y=
