Answer:

p=8

n=3

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of pennies=p

number of nickels=n

p+n=11

n=11-p

1*p+5*n=23

p+5(11-p)=23

p+55-5p=23

55-4p=23

4p=55-23=32

p=32/4=8

n=11-8=3

Draw the image of the following segment after a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 2/3

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ends of the given segment are A and B.

Coordinates of A → (8, 6)

Coordinates of B → (12, 12)

If a point (x, y) is dilated by a scale factor 'k' about the origin, rule to be followed,

(x, y) → (kx, ky)

If k = $\frac{2}{3}$

(x, y) → $(\frac{2}{3}x, \frac{2}{3}y)$

By this rule coordinates of the image points of A and B will be,

A(8, 6) → $A'(\frac{2\times 8}{3},\frac{2\times 6}{3})$

→ A'(5.3, 4)

B(12, 12) → $B'(\frac{12\times 2}{3}, \frac{12\times 2}{3})$

→ B'(8, 8)

Now we can get the image of segment AB after dilation by a scale factor of $\frac{2}{3}$ .
