can some one please help me?

Welcome to Openstudy! please state your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks. Triangle PQR is transformed to triangle P'Q'R'. Triangle PQR has vertices P(3, −6), Q(0, 9), and R(−3, 0). Triangle P'Q'R' has vertices P'(1, −2), Q'(0, 3), and R'(−1, 0). 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) Part C: Are the two triangles PQR and P''Q''R'' congruent? Explain your answer. (2 points)

I will be right back, i need to finish helping another student.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you @whatdoesthismean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This link are shortcuts to reflections and rotations. Memorize them, and it will make reflections and rotations much simpler. http://www.regentsprep.org/regents/math/geometry/gt5/RuleSheet.pdf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just remember ALL rotations are counterclockwise unless said otherwise, so do not get confused.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the first one, it will make it easier if you graphed it using a online calculator or something.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I prefer desmos but mathway is fine too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that a website @whatdoesthismean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, use Mathway.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, unfortunately i have to go. Hopefully somebody else can successfully explain it all to you. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you @whatdoesthismean

P(3, -6) P'(1, -2) what are we doing to each coordinate to go from P to P' ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im really not sure @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

solve for k 3k = 1 -6k = -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

from 3k=1 I got 0.33 repeating @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

k = 1/3 works as well

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

k = 1/3 means that you are multiplying each coordinate by 1/3 or dividing each coordinate by 3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do you see how that works?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes kinda. im really lost though and I cant figure it out.@jim_thompson5910 hey can we make a deal
