idk math

so i have no idea what to do!

[placid garden]

dialation is literally just adjusting the point by a scale factor

so with a dialation of $\alpha$, the coordinates would become $(-3\alpha,2\alpha)$

[placid garden]

now u can just plug in values

[whole maple]

wow

[whole maple]

idk what that means og 🔥

[placid garden]

?

[placid garden]

look here

[whole maple]

i am 😭

im just confused

is that an answer?

wait

i think I get it

ur just using the points

as a reference

but how does that have anything to do with 0.5

what is a scale factor

@placid garden

,help

A brief description and guide on how to use me was sent to your DMs!
Please use ,list to see a list of all my commands, and ,help cmd to get detailed help on a command!

[placid garden]

?

[placid garden]

0.5 is just the "dialation", i.e. how much the point will "shrink" or "grow"

[whole maple]

sooooo

1 goes to c

or c goes to 1

??

[placid garden]

c?

what is c?

[whole maple]

dude?

you have to match them

lol

😭

[placid garden]

yeah

[placid garden]

so look at this and look at the dialations provided

i've practically given you the answer

[whole maple]

cap

when u dont know shit abt math ur not practically doing anything

dilation is the abcd shit yeah?

these

[placid garden]

yes

[whole maple]

im trying to understand what u meant by shrink or grow

[placid garden]

those are the dialated points

[whole maple]

how tf can it shrink or grow

[placid garden]

"grow", as in moves farther from the origin

"shrink", as in moves closer to the origin

for example, which would be closer to the origin, (-3,2) or (-6,4)?

[whole maple]

-3,2

so is the higher number of scale factor closer or further from the origin?

oh u just said

?

wait

ye this is right

yes?

@placid garden

🥺

[placid garden]

let me see

and please stop randomly pinging me.

[whole maple]

sorry

its juts really important

[placid garden]

you got it

[whole maple]

W

ty dawg

[placid garden]

yw

[whole maple]

can u make sure my other answers are correct before I submit?

ive already finished them

just wanna make sure

[placid garden]

okay

[whole maple]

.-.

[placid garden]

sorry

i was working

[placid garden]

this is correct

[placid garden]

this is correct

[whole maple]

i already submitted

i got a 77%

not bad

[placid garden]

oh

[placid garden]

#1 is incorrect

remember that AB is congruent to AC and thus makes the same angle as angle ABC

[whole maple]

i had my friend "help me"

i thought she gave me the right answer.

im onto a quiz over parralelagrams now

[placid garden]

okay

try to understand processes before actually solving them.

[whole maple]
