Option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is not complete; here is the complete question.

Triangle A″B″C″ is formed by a reflection over y = −3 and dilation by a scale factor of 2 from the origin. Which equation shows the correct relationship between ΔABC and ΔA″B″C″?

Coordinates of the vertices of the triangle ABC are,

A(-3, 3), B(1, -3) and C(-3, -3)

When triangle ABC is reflected over y = -3

Coordinates of the image triangle A'B'C' will be.

A(-3, 3) → A'(-3, -9)

B(1, -3) → B'(1, -3)

C(-3, -3) → C'(-3, -3)

Further ΔA'B'C' is dilated by a scale factor of 2 about the origin then the new vertices of image triangle A"B"C" will be,

Rule for the dilation will be,

(x, y) → (kx, ky) [where 'k' is the scale factor]

A'(-3, -9) → A"(-6, -18)

B'(1, -3) → B"(2, -6)

C'(-3, -3) → C"(-6, -6)

Length of AB =

                      =

                      =

                      =

Length of A"B" =

                         =

                         =

                         =

Therefore,

Option (3) is the answer.

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
