slopes and angles will not change in a dilation
simply find the slope of CD

anonymous · Answer

2/1

ganeshie8 · Answer

look at the given diagram, CD is 2 units in vertical and 1 unit in horizontal, yes ?

ganeshie8 · Answer

yes! 2/1 is the slope

anonymous · Answer

so what the answer ? @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 · Answer

whats the question ?

ganeshie8 · Answer

they want you find the slope of C'D', yes ?

anonymous · Answer

yes

ganeshie8 · Answer

and you know that the slope of C'D' equals the slope of CD because slopes wont change under dilation

so.. whats the answer ?
