10 Extra Practice Day

The document presents a challenge involving dilations, similarity, and slope calculations. It includes tasks such as identifying the steepest line, describing transformations between similar polygons, performing dilations on a triangle, calculating slopes between points, and determining the position of a point on a line. The exercises require both drawing and mathematical reasoning to solve.

Dilations, Similarity, and Slope Challenge


1. Which line is steepest? Explain your thinking with calculations.

2. Polygons 𝐴 and 𝐵 are similar. Describe a sequence of transformations that takes polygon 𝐴 to polygon 𝐵.

3. Here is triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶.


a. Draw a dilation of triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 with center (0, 1) and a scale factor of 2.

b. A new dilation with center (0, 1) sends 𝐶 to


(9, 5.5). What is the scale factor? Explain how you
know.
4. For each pair of points, find the slope of the line that passes through both points. Use the coordinate
plane if it helps with your thinking.

a. (0, 4) and (4, 6)

b. (1, 4) and (3, 10)

5. Quadrilateral 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷 is dilated with center 𝐶 and 6. Is the point (20, 13) on this line? Explain your
a scale factor of 2. Draw 𝐴'𝐵'𝐶'𝐷'. reasoning.

8. All of the points in this graph are on the same line.


What is the value of a and b? Why?
