Question

Line Z, 4y+7x=-6 is transformed by a dilation with a scale factor of 1/2 and centered at the origin. What is the equation of the line after the dilation? Type the equation using whole numbers/fractions (no decimals).

Answer 1

y=-7/4x-3/4

Explanation:

you need to but the equation in y=mx+b form first

if you take the y and divide all other numbers.

y=-7/4x-3/2

then you already have your slope of -7/4, you don't need to divide by 1/2

you then divide the -3/2 by the 1/2 for your final answer.
