General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (8, 8)

Point (20, -2)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
