If the two points are (9, 260) and (29.5, 530), calculate the slope of the line that runs through them. A. 13.17

B. 12.25

C. 11.32

D. 10.42

m = rise/run = 270/20.5 = 13.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Going from (9, 260) to (29.5, 530), we see that the horizontal change (in x) is 20.5 and the vertical change (in y) is 270.  Thus, the slope is

m = rise/run = 270/20.5 = 13.17

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
