Lesson 17
Using Equations for Lines
Let’s write equations for lines.
Problem 1
Select all the points that are on the line through \((0,5)\) and \((2,8)\).
A:
\((4,11)\)
B:
\((5,10)\)
C:
\((6,14)\)
D:
\((30,50)\)
E:
\((40,60)\)
Problem 2
Here is triangle \(ABC\).

- Draw the dilation of triangle \(ABC\) with center \((2,0)\) and scale factor 2.
- Draw the dilation of triangle \(ABC\) with center \((2,0)\) and scale factor 3.
- Draw the dilation of triangle \(ABC\) with center \((2,0)\) and scale factor \(\frac 1 2\).
- What are the coordinates of the image of point \(C\) when triangle \(ABC\) is dilated with center \((2,0)\) and scale factor \(s\)?
- Write an equation for the line containing all possible images of point \(C\).
Problem 3
All three points displayed are on the line. Find an equation relating \(x\) and \(y\).

Problem 4
The Empire State Building in New York City is about 1,450 feet high (including the antenna at the top) and 400 feet wide. Andre wants to make a scale drawing of the front view of the Empire State Building on an \(8 \frac{1}{2}\)-inch-by-\(11\)-inch piece of paper. Select a scale that you think is the most appropriate for the scale drawing. Explain your reasoning.
- 1 inch to 1 foot
- 1 inch to 100 feet
- 1 inch to 1 mile
- 1 centimeter to 1 meter
- 1 centimeter to 50 meters
- 1 centimeter to 1 kilometer
Problem 5
Here are some line segments.

- Which segment is a dilation of \(\overline{BC}\) using \(A\) as the center of dilation and a scale factor of \(\frac23\)?
- Which segment is a dilation of \(\overline{BC}\) using \(A\) as the center of dilation and a scale factor of \(\frac32\)?
- Which segment is not a dilation of \(\overline{BC}\), and how do you know?
