Two ways we can solve this problem:
1. Graphically
2. Mathematically
Because you already solved it graphically, I will show you how to do so mathematically. Of course, graphically is much much easier and more efficient in this problem.
Let's break the problem down.
First, we are given a graph which contains a slope.
To find slope, we use the technique -> rise/run
Picking 2 obvious points from the graph, we can see
1st point -> (10, 20)
2nd point -> (40, 80)
Now, let's find the slope
Now, we have an equation y = 2x, where y = number of pies and x = cups of sugar
We want to find how many cups of sugar we need to bake 80 pies. Simply substitute 80 = number of pies = y
y = 2x -> 80 = 2x
Solving for x, divide both sides by 2
40 = x
We need 40 cups of sugar.
Answer: OPTION A.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can observe that in the figure CDEF the vertices are:
And in the figure C'D'E'F' the vertices are:
For this case, you can divide any coordinate of any vertex of the figure C'D'E'F' by any coordinate of any vertex of the figure CDEF:
For C'(-8,-4) and C(-2,-1):
Let's choose another vertex. For E'(8,8) and E(2,2):
You can observe that the coordinates of C' are obtained by multiplying each coordinate of C by 4 and the the coordinates of E' are also obtained by multiplying each coordinate of E by 4.
Therefore, the rule that yields the dilation of the figure CDEF centered at the origin is:
