Assume that the initial coordinates are (x,y) and that the dilated coordinates are (x',y').

The dilation is therefore:
(x,y) ............> (x',y')

Now, let's assume that the dilation factor is k.
Therefore:
x' = kx
y' = ky

Based on the above, all the student has to do is get the initial coordinates and the final ones and then substitute in any of the above two equations to get the value of k.

Example:
Assume an original point at (2,4) is dilated to coordinates (4,8). Find the dilation factor.
Assume the dilation coefficient is k.
(x,y) are (2,4) and (x',y') are (4,8)
Therefore:
x' = kx .........> 4 = k*2 ..........> k = 2
or:
y' = ky ..........> 8 = k*4 .........> k = 2
Based on the above, the dilation coefficient would be 2.

Hope this helps :)

Sample Response: Locate two corresponding ordered pairs of the two shapes. Calculate how much the pre-image values were multiplied by to obtain the image values. This is your scale factor. You can calculate this by dividing the coordinates of the mage by the corresponding coordinates of the pre-image.

Explain how you know if a system of equations has one solution, no solutions, or infinitely many solutions. Write your answers (
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Written Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of linear equations has one solution when the graphs intersect at a point. A system of linear equations has no solution when the graphs are parallel. A system of linear equations has infinite solutions when the graphs are the exact same line.

(This uses graphing.)

Sidenote: I hope this helps! :)
