Which algebraic representation shows a reduction?

(x, y) → (-3x, y)

(x, y) → (x - 3, y - 3)

(x, y) → (-3x, -3y)

(x, y) → (12 x, 12 y)

D. (x, y) →

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation is a transformation which reproduces an image of the same shape as the original, but might be of a different size.

When the dilation produces a smaller image is called a reduction.

Mathematically, a reduction occurs whenever the scale factor is between 0 and 1.

Out of the options, the only one that has a scale factor less than one is:

(x, y) →

Since the scale factor is 1/2 which is less than 1.

All other options are not reductions.

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
