Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the midpoint of two points

Given two points \((x_1,y_1)=(-3,3)\) and \((x_2,y_2)=(-5,9)\).
Using the midpoint formula \(MP = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})\), we substitute the values:
\(\frac{-3+(-5)}{2}=\frac{-3 - 5}{2}=\frac{-8}{2}=-4\)
\(\frac{3 + 9}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6\)

Step2: Calculate the distance between two points

Given two points \((x_1,y_1)=(-4,2)\) and \((x_2,y_2)=(2,-7)\).
Using the distance formula \(d=\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}\), we substitute the values:
\(x_2 - x_1=2-(-4)=2 + 4 = 6\)
\(y_2 - y_1=-7 - 2=-9\)
\(d=\sqrt{6^2+(-9)^2}=\sqrt{36 + 81}=\sqrt{117}=3\sqrt{13}\)

Step3: Find the equation of a perpendicular line

The given line is \(y=-15x - 7\), its slope \(m_1=-15\).
The slope of a perpendicular line \(m_2\) satisfies \(m_1\times m_2=-1\), so \(m_2=\frac{1}{15}\).
Using the slope - intercept form \(y = mx + b\) with \(b = 2\), the equation is \(y=\frac{1}{15}x+2\)

Step4: Find the equation of a parallel line

First, rewrite \(-4x + 2y=6\) in slope - intercept form \(y=mx + b\).
\(2y=4x + 6\), so \(y = 2x+3\), the slope \(m = 2\).
Using the point - slope form \(y - y_1=m(x - x_1)\) with \((x_1,y_1)=(2,1)\)
\(y - 1=2(x - 2)\)
\(y-1=2x-4\)
\(y=2x-3\)

Step5: Analyze the transformation

The transformation is a dilation (enlargement).
Let's assume a general point \((x,y)\) in the original figure and \((x',y')\) in the image.
If we take a point \(R(1,1)\) in the original triangle and \(R'(3,3)\) in the image (assuming a simple case for illustration, actual points can be analyzed from the graph).
The rule for dilation (assuming center at the origin) is \((x,y)\to(3x,3y)\)

Answer:

1. The midpoint is \((-4,6)\)
2. The distance is \(3\sqrt{13}\)
3. The equation is \(y=\frac{1}{15}x + 2\)
4. The equation is \(y=2x-3\)
5. Description: Dilation (enlargement); Rule: \((x,y)\to(3x,3y)\) (assuming center at the origin, actual rule can be adjusted based on exact point - to - point mapping from the graph)
