Triangle xyz was dilated using the rule do,0.25 (x, y) → (0.25x, 0.25y). the image is shown in the diagram. what are the coordinates of z of the pre-image? (–8, –4) (–8, 2) (–2, –1) (–0.25, –0.5)

I was able to find the image associated with this question, in which the coordinates of point Z are given as (-2,-1).

We know that the coordinates of a point are multiplied by the scale factor to give the new coordinates. Since these coordinates result after the dilation, we divide them by the scale factor to obtain the original coordinates as such:

-2/0.25 , -1/0.25

(-8 , -4)

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
