dPolygon MNOPQ is dilated by a scale factor of 5.4 with point M as the center of dilation, resulting in the image M'N'O'P'Q'. Which sentence correctly compares and ?A) Does not pass through point M but has the same slope as. B) passes through point M and has the same slope as. C) does not pass through point M and has a different slope than. D) passes through point M but has a different slope than.

Respuesta :

The sentence that correctly compares to the presented problem is the first choice or letter A which is “Does not pass through point M but has the same slope as”. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query about this specific question.

The sentence that correctly compares is A which is “Does not pass through point M but has the same slope as”.

How does dilation work?

Dilation of a figure will leave its sides to get scaled (multiplied) by same number. That number is called the scale factor of that dilation.

Its also called scaling of a figure, but due the involvement of coordinates, it involves a center of a dilation, which is like a pinned point that stays at the same place after dilation.

Polygon MNOPQ is dilated by a scale factor of 5.4 with point M as the center of dilation, resulting in the image M'N'O'P'Q'.

The slope of M'N' = 1

We need to get the coordinates of points M' and N':

We are given that the scale factor (k) is 5.4

For point M:

x coordinate of M' = k * x coordinate of M

The sentence that correctly compares is A which is “Does not pass through point M but has the same slope as”.
