what coordinate expression represents the coordinates of any point after dilation by any scale factor, a?

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to dilate the coordinates of a point, we want to make it times bigger. In order to do this, we can multiply the x and y values by our scale factor, a. This is called mapping. What it does is it basically multiplied our points by a specific number so that we end up with a figure that is (the scale factor) times bigger than the original.

So in order to make an expression for this, we multiply the x and y coordinates by a. So we have ax and ay.

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
