Given:

The preimage and image of a triangle in the given figure.

To find:

The dilation scale factor.

Solution:

From the given figure it is clear that the vertices of the triangle ABC are A(-2,-2), B(-1,2) and C(2,1).

The vertices of the triangle A'B'C' are A'(-4,-4), B'(-2,4) and C'(4,2).

If a figure is dilated by factor K with (0,0) as the center of dilation, then

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

Let the scale factor be K, then the image of point A is:

A(-2,-2)\to A'(k(-2),k(-2))

A(-2,-2)\to A'(-2k,-2k)

From the given figure it is clear that the image of point A is A'(-4,-4).

A'(-2k,-2k)=A'(-4,-4)

On comparing both sides, we get

-2k=-4

k=\dfrac{-4}{-2}

k=2

Therefore, the dilation scale factor is 2.

Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete each statement. 17.2 is 17.2 units to the ____ of zero on a number line. T
Fudgin [204]
Hello!

The number line progresses from negative infinity (extreme left) to positive infinity (extreme right). Beginning at zero, the numbers increase in value as they move to the right and decrease in value as they move to the left.

With this knowledge, we can look at the number 17.2 (a positive number) and conclude that it is placed 17.2 units to the right of zero on the number line.

The opposite of 17.2 would be (-17.2). Again, looking at this number (a negative number), we can conclude that it is placed 17.2 units to the left of zero on the number line.

I hope this helps!

Given the two points (2,4) and (-3,2), what is the slope of the line that goes through both of these points?
Andreyy89
With the formula: m=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2) you can sub in the values to get the slope (m).

m=(4-2)/(2-(-3))
   = 2/5

Therefore the slope is 2/5.
