The answer to this question is z=-5
Answer: 12/-4= -3. -12/4=-3. -(12/4)= -3
Step-by-step explanation: All equal -3 just divide all of them to get the answer.
Answer:
see attached diagram
Step-by-step explanation:
A dilation with a scale factor of
centered at the origin has a rule:

Then the image of the triangle ABC is triangle DEF(see attached diagram) with coordinates
To calculate the distance between two points on the coordinate system you have to use the following formula:
![d=\sqrt[]{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%28x_1-x_2%29%5E2%2B%28y_1-y_2%29%5E2%7D)
Where
d represents the distance between both points.
(x₁,y₁) are the coordinates of one of the points.
(x₂,y₂) are the coordinates of the second point.
To determine the length of CD, the first step is to determine the coordinates of both endpoints from the graph
C(2,-1)
D(-1,-2)
Replace the coordinates on the formula using C(2,-1) as (x₁,y₁) and D(-1,-2) as (x₂,y₂)
![\begin{gathered} d_{CD}=\sqrt[]{(2-(-1))^2+((-1)-(-2))}^2 \\ d_{CD}=\sqrt[]{(2+1)^2+(-1+2)^2} \\ d_{CD}=\sqrt[]{3^2+1^2} \\ d_{CD}=\sqrt[]{9+1} \\ d_{CD}=\sqrt[]{10} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20d_%7BCD%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%282-%28-1%29%29%5E2%2B%28%28-1%29-%28-2%29%29%7D%5E2%20%5C%5C%20d_%7BCD%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%282%2B1%29%5E2%2B%28-1%2B2%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20d_%7BCD%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B3%5E2%2B1%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20d_%7BCD%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B9%2B1%7D%20%5C%5C%20d_%7BCD%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B10%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
The length of CD is √10 units ≈ 3.16 units
