Answer:
= - 7n - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common difference between consecutive terms , that is
- 15 - (- 8) = - 22 - (- 15) = - 29 - (- 22) = - 36 - (- 29) = - 7
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = - 8 and d = - 7 , then
= - 8 - 7(n - 1) = - 8 - 7n + 7 = - 7n - 1
After the dilation around the center of dilation (2, -2), our triangle will have coordinates:
First, we are going to translate the center of dilation to the origin. Since the center of dilation is (2, -2) we need to move two units to the left (-2) and two units up (2) to get to the origin. Therefore, our first partial rule will be:
→
Next, we are going to perform our dilation, so we are going to multiply our resulting point by the dilation factor . Therefore our second partial rule will be:
→
→
Now, the only thing left to create our actual rule is going back from the origin to the original center of dilation, so we need to move two units to the right (2) and two units down (-2)
→
→
Now that we have our rule, we just need to apply it to each point of our triangle to perform the required dilation:
Now we can finally draw our triangle:
