The endpoints of (line segment )AB are A(2, 2) and B(3, 8). (line segment ) AB is dilated by a scale factor of 3.5 with the origin as the center of dilation to give image (line segment ) A'B' . What are the slope (m) and length of (line segment ) A'B'
? Use the distance formula to help you decide

I can help you with the slope part of the question.

eli_moses · Answer

Use the equation $$m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }$$

eli_moses · Answer

They give you the points (2,2) and (3,8). Use that and plug it into the equation as follows...$$(x _{1},y _{1}) and (x _{2},y _{2})$$
