Answer:
a) k = 5; (-10, -35)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Co-ordinates:
Pre-Image = (-12,3)
After dilation
Image = (-60,15)
The dilation about the origin can be given as :
Pre-Image
where represents the scalar factor.
We can find value of for the given co-ordinates by finding the ratio of
or
co-ordinates of the image and pre-image.
For the given co-ordinates.
Pre-Image = (-12,3)
Image = (-60,15)
The value of
or
As we get for both ratios i.e of
and
co-ordinates, so we can say the image has been dilated by a factor of 5 about the origin.
To find the image of (-2,-7), after same dilation, we will multiply the co-ordinates with the scalar factor.
Pre-Image Image
Pre-Image Image
