Write and solve an equation of ratios:
x 9
---- = ----
16 x
Cross mult., we get x^2 = (16)(9)
Taking the sqrt of both sides, we get x = plus or minus (4)(3), or
x= plus or minus 12
Since x is measure of distance here, omit the -12 result. x = +12 units
Answer:
C' (-4 , 2)
slope of new line = line "L" = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
C (x₀,y₀): (0,2) dilation center (h,k): (2,2) scale factor (sf): 3
C' (x,y)
x = 2 + 3*(0-2) = -4 x = h + sf*(x₀ - h)
y = 2 + 3*(2-2) = 2 y = k + sf*(y₀ - k)
C' (-4 , 2)
slope of new line = line "L" = -2
The same as the diagonal of a square.
Hope this helped!
