Answer:

A negative number taken to an even power gives a positive result (because the pairs of negatives cancel), and a negative number taken to an odd power gives a negative result (because, after cancelling, there will be one minus sign left over).

Line segment AB has vertices A(-3, 4) and B(1, -2). A dilation centered at the orgin is applied to AB. The image has vertices A(

bixtya [17]

Answer:

option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

consider the coordinates A (- 3, 4 ) and A' (- 1, $\frac{4}{3}$ )

since the dilatation is centred at the origin, then corresponding coordinates are multiples/ divisors of each other, then image to original gives scale factor.

scale factor = $\frac{A'}{A}$ = $\frac{-1}{-3}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{\frac{4}{3} }{4}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$

similarly B (1, - 2 ) and B' ( $\frac{1}{3}$ , - $\frac{2}{3}$ )

$\frac{\frac{1}{3} }{1}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{-\frac{2}{3} }{-2}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$
