Question

Help me understand this better pls

Answer 1

The coordinates of point L are (12, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In order to determine the scale factor, we divide the measurement after scaling by the same measurement before scaling.

K is the point before scaling and L is the point after scaling. K and L lie on the same line.

N is the point before scaling and M is the point after scaling. They both lie on the same line.

Step 2:

The scale factor for M $= \frac{-12}{-4} = 3.$

So to determine the coordinates of point L, we multiply point K's coordinates with the scale factor.

Coordinates of point L $= 3 (3, 0) = (3(3), 3(0)) = (12,0).$

So the coordinates of point L are (12, 0).
