The endpoints of are A(2, 2) and B(3, 8). is dilated by a scale factor of 3.5 with the origin as the center of dilation to give image . What are the slope (m) and length of ? Use the distance formula to help you decide: .
The slopes of both are:m=\(\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}= \frac{8-2}{3-2}= \frac{6}{1}\)=6
Length of AB (using the distance formula):AB=\(\sqrt{(3-2)^{2} +(8-2) ^{2} } = \sqrt{1+36} = \sqrt{37}\)=6.082
Length of the image: 3.5 * 6.082 = 21.287
Answer:
The given line segment whose end points are A(2,2) and B(3,8).
Distance AB is given by distance formula , which is
if we have to find distance between two points (a,b) and (p,q) is
= \(\sqrt{(p-a)^2+(q-b)^2}\)
AB= \(\sqrt{(3-2)^2+(8-2)^2}=\sqrt{1+36}=\sqrt{37}\) = 6.08 (approx)
Line segment AB is dilated by a factor of 3.5 to get New line segment CD.
Coordinate of C = (3.5 ×2, 3.5×2)= (7,7)
Coordinate of D = (3.5×3, 3.5×8)=(10.5,28)
CD = AB × 3.5
CD = √37× 3.5
= 6.08 × 3.5
= 21.28 unit(approx)
2. Slope of line joining two points (p,q) and (a,b) is given by
m=\(\frac{q-b}{p-a}\)
m= \(\frac{8-2}{3-2}=6\)
As the two lines are coincident , so their slopes are equal.
Slope of line AB=Slope of line CD = 6
