Line segment ab has endpoints a(2, 9) and b(5, 8) . a dilation, centered at the origin, is applied to ab . the image has endpoints a′(43, 6) and b′(103, 163) . what is the scale factor of this dilation?
32
23
2
3

 The correct option is (B)

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the co-ordinates of the end-points of a line segment AB are A(2, 9) and B(5, 8). After being dilated about the origin (0, 0), the co-ordinates of the end-points of image A'B' are and

We are to find the scale factor of the dilation.

The scale factor of the dilation will be

The lengths of the lines AB and A'B' are calculated using distance formula as follows:

Therefore, the required scale factor of dilation is

Thus, the scale factor of the dilation is

Option (B) is CORRECT.

it would be 6xy and -16xy.

answer: if you weigh 60 pounds on earth, on the moon you will weigh about 10 pounds. if you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. since weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other, the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.
