can somebody pls pls help? i dont know how 2 find the invariant line for a shear/stretch in transformation in maths. (stretch mainly). EXAM IS 2MORO!!!! pls help? ???

to find the invariant line, u take 1 point from a triangle, then another point but must be the one thats stretched, eg A and A2

A= (5.6)  A2=(5.12)
==(x,y)

X is invarient because it has not changed.


If it says multiply/stretch/shear triangle ABC for example by a number, and invarient line is Y, u do, for example the number is 3.

A=(5,  Y=(6x3)   ---   == A=(5,18), and u plot that point by A3 or w/e.
When they talk about me they say I be trippin
What they say about me doesn't make me mad 
I think they hatin cause they see me when I'm rollin
Man I can't help it that they really doin bad  =P

thanx  :-\. but what if there are no points that lie on the same line? i got such a question once and the invariant line was diagonal. is there a formula of some kind that i can use? ???
