So this means W(-3x) = 3x. So it's equal to 3(-3x), which simplifies to be -9x. Whenever you have a function, it looks like f(x). f doesn't have to be the letter, it can be a, b, c, or like in this case, W. It just means the output of what W(x) is if x equals the number in the parentheses, which is -3x in this case.
When dilation is about the origin, as it is here in every case, the image point coordinates are the original (pre-image) coordinates multiplied by the scale factor.
1. Multiply every coordinate value by 5:
... W' = (-5, 10), X' = (-15, -5), Y' = (25, -5), Z' = (15, 10)
2. Multiply every coordinate value by 1/3:
... A' = (-2, 5), B' = (0, 5/3), C' = (1, 10/3)
3. A' = (2, 8), B' = (6, 2), C' = (2, 2)
4. The image coordinates are 5 times the original coordinates, so ...
... the scale factor of the dilation is 5.
Answer:
11/12
Step-by-step explanation:
6 7/12 - 5 2/3
=(6-5) + (7/12 - 2/3)
= 1 + 7/12 - 2*4 / 3*4
= 1 + 7/12 - 8/12
= 1 + 7-8 / 12
= 1 + -1/12
=11/12
Multiply the two as area is base times height.
