Triangle PQR is transformed to triangle P′Q′R′. Triangle PQR has vertices P(4, 0), Q(0, −4), and R(−8, −4). Triangle P′Q′R′ has

vertices P′(1, 0), Q′(0, −1), and R′(−2, −1). Plot triangles PQR and P′Q′R′ on your own coordinate grid. Part A: What is the scale factor of the dilation that transforms triangle PQR to triangle P′Q′R′? Explain your answer

Answer:

Scale factor is \frac{1}{4}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates of \triangle PQR as:

P(4, 0)\\Q(0, -4)\\R(-8, -4)

And the coordinates of \triangle P' Q' R' as:

P'(1, 0)\\Q'(0, -1)\\R'(-2, -1)

To find:

The scaling factor of the dilation to transform the \triangle PQR to \triangle P' Q' R'.

Solution:

First of all, let us find the distance between the vertices i.e. the sides of the triangle.

Distance formula:

D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Where (x_1,y_1), (x_2,y_2) are the coordinates of two points between which the distance is to be calculated.

PQ = \sqrt{4^2+4^2} = 4\sqrt2

QR = \sqrt{8^2+0^2} = 8

PR = \sqrt{4^2+12^2} = 4\sqrt{10}

Now, let us find the sides of the \triangle P' Q' R':

P' Q' = \sqrt{1^2+1^2} = \sqrt{2}

Q' R' = \sqrt{2^2+0^2} = 2

P' R' = \sqrt{3^2+1^2} = \sqrt{10}

We can clearly see that, the sides of \triangle PQR are four times the corresponding sides of \triangle P' Q' R'.

Therefore, the scaling factor is \frac{1}{4}.

I need help with algebra
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

x = -1 and y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

using x = -b/2a

x = -4 / 2(2)

x = -1

y = 2(-1)² + 4(-1) + 8

y = 2 - 4 + 8

y = 10 - 4

y = 6
