Question

Triangle PQR is transformed to triangle P'Q'R'. Triangle PQR has vertices P(4, 0), Q(0, −4), and R(−8, −4). Triangle P'Q'R' has vertices P'(1, 0), Q'(0, −1), and R'(−2, −1).

Plot triangles PQR and P'Q'R' on your own coordinate grid.

Part A: What is the scale factor of the dilation that transforms triangle PQR to triangle P'Q'R'? Explain your answer. (4 points)

Part B: Write the coordinates of triangle P"Q"R" obtained after P'Q'R' is reflected about the y-axis. (4 points)

Answer 1

Have you plotted the triangles?

Answer 2

no :(

Answer 3

I'm like soooo confused

Answer 4

Do you know how to plot points on a coordinate grid?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

but the question doesn't even plot anything ):

Answer 7

Before part A, it asks to plot the two triangles.

Answer 8

you're right

Answer 9

but its too confusing

Answer 10

like i suck at this I'm going to fail i swear

Answer 11

If you take one part at a time, it's not hard.
The first step is to plot both triangles.

Answer 12

Ok, there is my grid. Now we need to plot the points of both triangles and label them.

Answer 13

okay, give me minute :)
