Enlarge the triangle by scale factor 1.5 using (4,4)
as the center of enlargement.

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are translation, reflection, dilation and rotation.

Dilation is the enlargement or reduction of the size of a figure. If a point A(x, y) is dilated about the center of origin by a factor k, the new point is at A'(kx, ky)

If a point A(x, y) is dilated about the point (a,b) by a factor k, the new point is at A'(k(x - a) + a, k(y - b) + b)

From the image the vertex of the triangle is at (0,0), (-2, 4) and (-2, 0). If the triangle is enlarged by scale factor 1.5 using (4,4)  as the center of enlargement.. Hence the new points are:

For (0,0): (1.5(0 - 4) + 4, 1.5(0 - 4) + 4) = (-2, -2)

For (-2,4): (1.5(-2 - 4) + 4, 1.5(4 - 4) + 4) = (-5, 4)

For (-2, 0): (1.5(-2 - 4) + 4, 1.5(0 - 4) + 4) = (-5, -2)

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
