OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

someone helpp me please. equation below

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok just write the ratio of the length

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

you know it goes from small to large

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so what is the length of C' to B'

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

do you have to do a formula?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

you don't need formula, this is not complicated at all

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

what is the length from C' to B' can you tell me

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

im bad at geometry . is it something out of 5

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

good

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

now what is the length from C to B

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

i think its 2/5

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

remember the shape goes from small to large so the top have to big bigger than the bottom

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

is the other way around the ratio is 5/2

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

oh okay i get it now. I understand. Can you help me with other math problems?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

sure

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

what about this one?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok, lets analyze the figure first is the length of MN 2 units ?

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

you count the spaces in between right?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

count the squares between the line

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

yes it is 2 units

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok, we agree

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

second paragraph the length of side M'N' is 5 units?

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

no its not 5 units

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

did you count the squares between the lines?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

between the line

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

yes i did

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

should i count again?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

how many squares did you count?

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

okay it is 5, i was counting the lines

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

or you can do it another way the line M' starts on 5 (look at the X axis) and ends on 10

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

okay cool. I never knew that

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok, then the second is true also correct?

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

no the image is bigger than the preimage

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

now lets analyze the third question, "the image is smaller than the pre-image"

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

i get confused . whats the difference

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

which one is the image and which one is the pre-image?

OpenStudy (throneofbooks):

the slope of ABC is -2, the slope of ABC is -5. Therefore the correct answer is 2/5.

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

okay im confused

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

the image is the M'N'P'Q' the pre-image is MNPQ

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

okay so yeah that true

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

pre-image is the original one, the image is the one done based on the pre-image that is why have the apostrophes after the letter

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

okay I understand. What they guy said above is that true?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

look at the picture the pre-image is the one MNPQ without apostrophes

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

okay i see now

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so is the image smaller ??

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

yes the image is smaller

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

no the image is the big one

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

so its not true

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok, I want you to understand, the parallelogram with the apostrophes is a copy of the parallelogram that have the solid letters

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

the small image is what is called the pre-image

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

yes so the apostrophes is the image ?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

does the letters of the small parallelogram have apostrophes??

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

no

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

yes that is correct

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok so that is not true

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

yes its not true. I understand now

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok, now the next paragraph if the MQ and M'Q' have the same slope?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

do you know how to find a slope of a line

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

rise / run

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

can you use the slope formula?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

you can, but is easier just to count the rise an run from the picture

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

you count the boxes?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

you see the point Q to get to point M how many lines you have to rise then how many lines you run?

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

1

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

good, you rise 1 and run 1 1/1 = 1

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

now do the same thing from Q' to M'

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

okay thats good

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

its it 2?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

rise 2 and run 2 2/2 = 1

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so both have a slope of 1

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

so its true?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

yes

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

okay next one

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

what about the last one, what can you tell me

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

its not true

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

wait im wrong

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

correct, just because you go from a small image to a large one so the scale factor have to be more than 1

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

the correct would be 5/2

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

okay i thought i was wrong

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

i think its the second answer

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

what is the scale factor?

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

the scale factor is 2

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

yes because from J to K there are 4 units and from A to B there are 2 so it is 4/2 = 2

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

yes i counted the lines

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok, so the choice should be simple now

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

so its the second answer

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

does the second answer makes sense ?

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

no

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so because both figures are parallelogram that is why the scale factor is 2?

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

because the sides are parallel

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

but i think its the first answer

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

yes is the first one

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

you just told me you count the units, that is what the first one is saying

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

yes because of the rise/run
