Lesson 3
Dilations with No Grid
A Single Dilation of a Triangle (1 problem)

Lin drew a triangle and a dilation of the triangle with scale factor  12\frac{1}{2}:

Triangle A B C with midsegment D E. Point D is on A C and point E is on A B.

  1. What is the center of the dilation? Explain how you know.
  2. Which triangle is the original and which triangle is the dilation? Explain how you know.
Show Solution
  1. The center of dilation is AA. Sample reasoning: The original and dilated points all lie on rays that start at AA.
  2. Triangle ACDACD is the original and triangle ABEABE is the dilation. Sample reasoning: Since the scale factor is less than 1, the dilated triangle is smaller than the original triangle.

The smaller triangle is dilated to create the larger triangle. The center of dilation is plotted, but not labeled.

A triangle, it‘s image after dilation and a point on a coordinate plane, origin O.
A triangle, it‘s image after dilation and a point on a coordinate plane, origin O. Horizontal axis scale negative 2 to 11 by 1’s. Vertical axis negative 7 to 4 by 1’s. The point has coordinates (3 comma 0). The triangle has the coordinates (0 comma 0), (6 comma negative 6) and (9 comma 3). The image of the triangle has the coordinates (2 comma 0), (negative 2 comma 4) and (5 comma 1).

Show Solution
Sample response: The triangle being dilated has vertices at (2,0)(2,0), (4,-2)(4, \text-2), and (5,1)(5,1). The center of dilation is (3,0)(3,0) and the scale factor is 3.

Lesson 6
Similarity
Showing Similarity (1 problem)

Elena gives the following sequence of transformations to show that the 2 figures are similar by transforming ABCDABCD into EFGDEFGD.

  1. Dilate using center DD and scale factor 2.
  2. Reflect using the horizontal line through DD

&lt;p&gt;Two polygons. First, from D, left 1 to A, up 1 left 1 to B, up 2 right 1 to C, down 3 right 1 to D. Second, from D, right 2 to E, up 2 right 2 to F, up 4 left 2 to G, down 6 left 2 to D.&lt;/p&gt;<br>
 

Is Elena’s method correct? If not, explain how you could fix it.

Show Solution

Elena’s method is not correct. Sample response: After dilating using DD as the center with a scale factor of 2, Elena can reflect over the vertical line through DD rather than the horizontal line through DD.

Lesson 7

How Do You Know? (1 problem)

Are these 2 figures similar? Explain how you know.

Show Solution

The 2 figures are not similar. Sample reasoning: Sides CDCD and ABAB are multiplied by a scale factor of 34\frac34 to get sides GHGH and EFEF, but sides ADAD and BCBC are multiplied by a scale factor of 56\frac56.

Problem 1
Explain why triangle RSTRST is similar to triangle TYZTYZ.

Show Solution
Sample reasoning: Triangle RSTRST is similar to triangle TYZTYZ because triangle RSTRST can be dilated by a scale factor of 2 using point RR as the center, and then translated so that point RR goes to point TT

Finding Slope and Graphing Lines (1 problem)

Lines \ell and kk are graphed.

&lt;p&gt;Two lines on a grid. Line l begins three units up from the bottom left corner. Line k begins 2 units right of the same corner. The lines meet at the grid point 10 up and 7 right of the same corner.&lt;/p&gt;<br>
 

  1. Which line has a slope of 1, and which has a slope of 2?
  2. Use a ruler or straightedge to help you graph a line whose slope is 35\frac35. Label this line aa.

Lesson 11
Writing Equations for Lines
Matching Relationships to Graphs (1 problem)

Line aa is shown on the coordinate plane.

&lt;p&gt;Line a, drawn on quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane. The points 5 comma 7 and x comma y are marked. A right angle is drawn with those two points as vertices and horizontal and vertical sides.&lt;/p&gt;<br>
 

  1. Explain why the slope of line aa is 26\frac26.
  2. Label the horizontal and vertical sides of the slope triangle with expressions representing their length.
  3. Use the slope triangle to write an equation for any point (x,y)(x,y) on line aa.
  4. Is the point (95,37)(95,37) on line aa? Explain or show your reasoning.
Show Solution
  1. Sample reasoning: The points (5,7)(5,7) and (11,9)(11,9) are on the line. A slope triangle drawn using these points as vertices will have a vertical length of 2 and a horizontal length of 6, giving a slope value of 26\frac{2}{6}.
  2. The vertical side has length y7y-7, and the horizontal side has length x5x-5.
  3. y7x5=26\frac{y-7}{x-5}=\frac{2}{6} (or equivalent). Equations such as 7y5x=13\frac{7-y}{5-x}=\frac13 or y6x2=26\frac{y-6}{x-2}=\frac26 are also correct, being derived from different slope triangles than the one shown.
  4. Yes, point (95,37)(95,37) is on line aa. Sample reasoning: Those xx- and yy-coordinates make the line’s equation true: 377955=3090=26\frac{37-7}{95-5}=\frac{30}{90}=\frac26.
Lesson 12
Using Equations for Lines
Is the Point on the Line? (1 problem)

&lt;p&gt;Coordinate plane, first quadrant. Line is drawn through 0 comma 3, 2 comma 4, 4 comma 5, 8 comma 7.&lt;/p&gt;<br>
 

Is the point (20,13)(20,13) on this line? Explain your reasoning.

Show Solution

Yes, point (20,13)(20,13) is on the line. Sample reasoning: One possible equation for the line is y3x=12\frac{y-3}{x}=\frac12. Since 13320=12\frac{13-3}{20}=\frac12, the point (20,13)(20,13) is on this line.

Problem 1

Of the lines on the graph, line \ell has a slope of 1 and line mm has slope of 3 and line nn has a slope of 12\frac12.

Label lines \ell, mm, and nn.

Show Solution
Problem 2

A line can be described by the equation y1x3=13\frac{y-1}{x-3}=\frac13. Is the point (33,12)(33,12) on this line? Explain or show your reasoning.

Show Solution
No. Sample reasoning: Since 121333=1130\frac{12-1}{33-3}=\frac{11}{30} and not 13\frac13, the point (33,12)(33,12) does not make the equation true.
