The equation of line h is y = -2x + 1. If line h is dilated with a scale factor of 4 with respect to the origin, what is the equation of the new line?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • y = -2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given line h:

  • y = -2x + 1

Dilated line is parallel to original, so will have same slope of -2

y-intercept will change by a scale factor of 4:

  • (0, 1)  → (0*4, 1*4) = (0, 4)

So the equation of the new line is:

  • y = -2x + 4
