Question

In the figure, polygon ABCD is dilated by a factor of 2 to produce A′B′C′D′ with the origin as the center of dilation. Point A′ is at , and point D′ is at . NextReset

Answer 1

You did not attach any picture to solve this problem. We cannot calculate for the value of A’ and D’ without the correct graph. However, I think I found the correct graph (see attached), please attach it next time.

So we are given that the figure is dilated by a factor of, meaning that all of its end points are multiplied by 2. By this rule, all we have to do is to simply multiply the initial coordinates of A and D by 2 to get A’ and D’, that is:

A’ = (-1 * 2, -1 * 2) = (-2, -2)

D’ = (2 * 2, -1 * 2) = (4, -2)
