Question

What is the image of (12,-8) after a dilation by a scale factor of 1/4 centered at the origin

Answer 1

Answer:

(3, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the dilatation is centred at the origin then multiply each of the original coordinates by the scale factor, that is

x - coordinate → 12 × $\frac{1}{4}$ = 3

y- coordinate → - 8 × $\frac{1}{4}$

Thus

(12, - 8 ) → (3, - 2 )
