Question

AXYZ has vertices at (0.0), (6,9), and (15.0).

Answer 1

Answer:

The coordinates of the vertices of the image are (0, 0), (2, 3), (5, 0) ⇒ (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us talk about dilation

• A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure.
• It can become larger or smaller, but the shape of the figure does not change.
• The scale factor measures how much larger or smaller  the image will be
• If the scale factor greater than 1, then the image will be larger
• If the scale factor between 0 and 1, then the image will be smaller

→ If point (x, y) dilated with scale factor m about the origin, then

→ Its image is (m x, m y)

Let us solve the question

∵ ΔXYZ has vertices:

→ X = (0, 0)

→ Y = (6, 9)

→ Z = (15, 0)

∵ ΔXYZ is dilated by a scale factor 1/3 about the origin

→ Multiply each coordinate in each vertex by the scale factor 1/3

∵  (0 × $\frac{1}{3}$ , 0 ×  $\frac{1}{3}$ )

∴ X' = (0, 0)

∵  (6 × $\frac{1}{3}$ , 9 ×  $\frac{1}{3}$ )

∴ Y' = (2 , 3)

∵  (15 × $\frac{1}{3}$ , 0 ×  $\frac{1}{3}$ )

∴ Z' = (5, 0)

∴ The coordinates of the vertices of the image are (0, 0), (2, 3), (5, 0)
