Answer:
The statement that is true is;
The vertices of the image are closer to the origin than those of the pre-image
Step-by-step explanation:
The dilation rule is 0.75(x,y)= (0.75x, 0.75y)
K (-4,4)----------( 0.75*-4,0.75*4)-------K' (-3,3)
L (2,4)-----------(0.75*2,0.75*4)---------L' (1.5,3)
M (-2,2)----------(0.75*-2,0.75*2)--------M' (-1.5,1.5)
Given:
The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p) has a gradient of .
To find:
The value of p.
Solution:
If a line passes through two points, then the slope of the line is:
The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p). So, the slope of the line is:
It is given that the gradient or slope of the line is .
On cross multiplication, we get
Divide both sides by 2.
Therefore, the value of p is 3.
y-intercept for x = 0.
Substitute x = 0 to the equation of the function:
