Question

Enlarge the triangle by scale factor of -1/3

Answer 1

The attached image represents the triangle after it has been enlarged

How to enlarge the triangle?

The given parameters are:

• Scale factor, k = -1/3
• Center, (a,b) = (-1,2)

From the graph, the coordinates of the triangle are:

A = (-4,2)

B = (-4,-4)

C = (-1,-4)

The rule of dilation is calculated using:

$(x,y) \to (k(x - a) + a, k(y - b) + b)$

So, we have:

$A' = (-\frac 13(-4 +1) - 1, -\frac 13(2 - 2) + 2)$

A' = (0, 2)

$B' = (-\frac 13(-4 +1) - 1, -\frac 13(-4 - 2) + 2)$

B' = (0, 4)

$C' = (-\frac 13(-1 +1) - 1, -\frac 13(-4 - 2) + 2)$

C' = (-1, 4)
