Problema Solution

A preimage includes a line segment of length x and slope m. If the preimage is dilated by a scale factor of n, what are the length and slope of the corresponding line segment in the image?

Answer provided by our tutors

A dilation has the effect of stretching or shrinking the line segment by the factor of n thus the slope will not change.

So the length of the new image would be nx and the slope is m.
