Question

I need help on ratio of x-coordinates and ratio of y-coordinates

Answer 1

Ratio of x-coordinates:

`(-1)/(-2)=(1)/(2)`

`(2)/(4)=(1)/(2)`

`(2)/(4)=(1)/(2)`

`(-2)/(-4)=(1)/(2)`

Ration of y-coordinates:

`(2.5)/(5)=(1)/(2)`

`(1)/(2)=(1)/(2)`

`(-2)/(-4)=(1)/(2)`

`(-2)/(-4)=(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

The table is asking for the ratio of x-coordinates for each point (A, B, C and D) for both the image and pre-image. The ratio is the image 'x' or 'y' value ÷ the pre-image 'x' or 'y' value. Each ratio should be expressed in simplest form and should show the same pattern of dilation, or same scale factor. In this case, the second figure is 1/2 the size of the original figure.
