ABC is dilated by a scale factor of 3 with the origin as the center of dilation, resulting in the image A'B'C'. If the slope of is -1.2, what is the slope of ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need help

OpenStudy (eli_moses):

so it would be like......|dw:1404005756156:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know

OpenStudy (eli_moses):

so let's sat it is. You have Figure ABC and it needs to be dilated. The slope wouldn't change at all. Let me show you....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok please do

OpenStudy (eli_moses):

you would have the same slope. the lengths would change though by the dilation of 3. Do you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what would that make the slope

OpenStudy (eli_moses):

the slope doesn't change at all when you do the dilation

OpenStudy (eli_moses):

the lengths of the sides change only

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its -1,2

OpenStudy (eli_moses):

yes. the slope stays the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay !!

OpenStudy (eli_moses):
