Question

The coordinates of A are (1/4,3). The coordinates of B are (1/2,4.5). If the x-coordinate of C is 7/4, what is its y-coordinate

Answer 1

Answer:

10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A = (1/4, 3)

B = (1/2, 4.5)

To get the coordinate of C as 7/4, what was done was to first take the difference in the x coordinates and then dilate the result by 7

To get the y coordinate;

• Take the difference in the coordinate

Difference = 3 - 4.5

Difference = -1.5

• Dilate the result by factor of 7

This is done y multiplying the result by 7;

y coordinate = 1.5 * 7

y coordinate = 10.5

Hence its y-coordinate is 10.5
