Question

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP,EASY, I WILL GIVE MEDAL+FAN
ΔABC is dilated by a scale factor of 3 with the origin as the center of dilation to form ΔA′B′C′. The slope of AB is -1.2. The length of AB is p units, the length of AC is q units, and the length of BC is r units.
The slope of A'b'=
-1.2
1.2
-3.6
The length of A' C' =
1/3q
3 q
-1.2p
(p+q+r)

Answer 1

When you dilate some bodies, the slope remains the same. The triangle is one of these bodies.
To get the length of a dilated line segment, just multiply by the scale factor.

Answer 2

so -1.2 x 3?

Answer 3

what?

Answer 4

The slope remains the same, but the lengths change.

Answer 5

oh so the slope is -1.2 and the length, how do i get the length?

Answer 6

Multiply by the scale factor.

Answer 7

so 3 q?

Answer 8

because it would be 3 x q

Answer 9

That's right.

Answer 10

Thank you!
