Consider this dilation.

(a)
Is the image of the dilation a reduction or an enlargement of the original figure? Explain.

(b)
What is the scale factor? Explain.

The letters M,S,V are the original image.

The letters M’, S’, V’ are the displayed image.

You can see that M’, S’,V’ is a smaller image, so it was a reduction.

The length of line MS is 9 units.

The length of M’S’ is 6 units.

The dialation is 6/9 = 2/3

(a) reduction

(b) 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The original figure is called ΔMSV, while the dilation is called ΔM'S'V'. Because we can see that M'S'V' is clearly much smaller than MSV, we know that the image is a reduction of the original.

(b) We simply need to find the ratio of one side of M'S'V' to one side of MSV. Look at M'S': the length is just 4 - (-2) = 6 (this is because it's a completely horizontal line). The length of MS is 6 - (-3) = 9.

So, the scale factor is: 6 / 9 = 2/3.

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
