Answer:

Yes, they will be.

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent means when they are the same shape and same size.

If triangle ABC is dilated to form triangle DEF, that means that they will have the same shape and the same size.

So yes Triangles ABC and DEF will be congruent to one another because they will be the same shape, and they will have the same size as well.

Hope this helped!

Write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = 1/2x + 3 and passes through the point (10, -5).

o-na [289]

Answer:

Option A) y = -2x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

The equation of the given line is

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+3$

The slope of the given line is $m=\frac{1}{2}$

therefore

The slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is

$m=-2$

step 2

Find the equation of the perpendicular line in point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=-2$

$point\ (10,-5)$

substitute

$y+5=-2(x-10)$ ---> equation in point slope form

Convert to slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

$y+5=-2x+20$

$y=-2x+20-5$

$y=-2x+15$

Answer:

c. $1\leq x\leq 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

the domain is the set of all possible inputs of a function, in other words, all the x-values that make up the function. in this function, the first x-value is 1, and the function is continuous all the way up to 6, so, the domain would be the answer in c.
