Question

Graph the image of this figure after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/2 centered at the point (−3, 0).

Answer 1

The vertices of the image of dilation are (4, 2), (-1, 2) and (3, 4)

How to graph the dilated image?

The given parameters are:

Center, (a, b) = (-3, 0)

Scale factor, k = 1/2

The vertices of the figure are

(5,4), (-5, 4) and (3,8)

The rule of dilation is represented as:

(x, y) ⇒ (k(x -a), k(y -b))

So, we have:

Point (5,4)

(x, y) ⇒ (1/2(5 + 3), 1/2(4 -0))

(x, y) ⇒ (4, 2)

Point (-5,4)

(x, y) ⇒ (1/2(-5 + 3), 1/2(4 -0))

(x, y) ⇒ (-1, 2)

Point (3,8)

(x, y) ⇒ (1/2(3 + 3), 1/2(8 -0))

(x, y) ⇒ (3, 4)

So, the vertices of the image of dilation are (4, 2), (-1, 2) and (3, 4)
