Question

Polygon ABCDE is dilated by a scale factor of 3 with the center of dilation at the origin yo create polygon A’B’C’D’E’ If the end points of BC are b(3,5) C(5,10) what is the slope of B’C’

Answer 1

Hey mate. Here is your answer.

Answer: slope= 5/2

Solution and explanation:

Polygon which is dilated by a scale factor of 3.

The endpoints of BC are B (3,5) and C (5,10).

The image of B & C under the dilation would be:

B'=3(3,5)=(9,15)

C'=3(5,10)=(15,30)

The slope is given by change in y divided by change in x.

slope=(30-15)/(15-9)

=15/6

=5/2

Hope this helps you!
