I have to find the new vertices using the matrix and the given "k."

Directrix (directrix):

Dilation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes! :)

Directrix (directrix):

Do you use the Jurgesen Geometry book? I sent you a chat note last night.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I sent back, saying no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah thank you so much for helping me!

Directrix (directrix):

Dilations are like similarity of triangles so whatever figure we get should be similar to the original one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know for l, it would be (1, 1/3)

Directrix (directrix):

I (1, 1/3) G (5/3, 7/3) H (3,1) What do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup, that's what I got by mulitplying 1/3

Directrix (directrix):

Alrighty.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will have more questions coming up after I finish up the similar dilation problems.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Directrix (directrix):

I think your coordinates of points P and Q may have been read wrong from the graph. Or, I can't read. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, I double checked, they're right

Directrix (directrix):

I get P to be (-1, -1) and Q to be (-4, 2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OHH. oops! careless mistake -.-

Directrix (directrix):

R is above P - they have to have the same x-coordinate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, NOW I see all my mistakes haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

Directrix (directrix):

I just messed up using a -5/2 factor. -5/2 , -5/2 P -10 , 5 Q -5/2 10 R 5 , 5/2 S

Directrix (directrix):

Could you put the next attachment in a new thread? :)

Directrix (directrix):

First, let's finish this attachment. What did you get for the coordinates.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got the same answers, and will do!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What happened??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are they trolling/spamming?

Directrix (directrix):

Not at the moment. Let's work Geometry in the new thread. I'll meet you there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

After I work on the problems I get. I'll post some when I run into something I'm stuck on

Directrix (directrix):

Okay.
