names are similar objects are similar, which means they correspond point for point

Answer 9

:)

Answer 10

Do u understand this one?

Answer 11

PQRS
UVWX

as such, we want to compare points lengths and positions for this thing

Answer 12

Okay

Answer 13

whats the distance from p to q?

Answer 14

UMMMM

Answer 15

IM GRAPHING IT.

Answer 16

the ys are the same so this is just a verical line tat measures for -2 to -5

im sure you can count the distance between that

Answer 17

-3?

Answer 18

lets say 3 since the distance is what we are after and not direction so much

lets compare that to the distance between u and v

another vertical line from 7 to -2

Answer 19

OKAY. IM TRYING TO STAY WITH YOU BUT I REALLY REALLY AM SLOW IN MATH . im like a retard. LOL but im trying okay so...what?

Answer 20

similar shapes differ by a scaled factor, and once we know that factor we can measure to the point we need

we have a length of 3 and we need to know the length of this other piece that goes from 7 to -2

Answer 21

IS IT GOING TO BE 10?

Answer 22

9

Answer 23

close, lets try 9 :)

3s = 9 when s=3

so we have a scaled factor of 3

Answer 24

ok cool :)

Answer 25

so how do we sum this up?

Answer 26

im working on it ...

we need to determine how to move to get from P to S

Answer 27

P(-5, 7)
S(-8, 3)

down by 3 and left by 4 moves us from P to S

we know we need to multiply by 3 so lets do that now

3*3 = 9
4*3 = 12

this is how we move from U to get to X, down by 9 and left by 12

U = (-2, -1)
-9 -12
-------
x = (-11,-13)

Answer 28

OMG I GET IT!

Answer 29

i hope so ;) good luck
