Question

PLS HELP ME Draw the image of ∆JKL under the dilation with scale factor ½ and center of dilation at the origin. Label the image ∆J’K’L’.

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangle JKL with vertices at J(-2,4), K(-8,4), L(-4,6).

The dilation with scale factor ½ and center of dilation at the origin has the rule

$(x,y)\rightarrow \left(\dfrac{1}{2}x,\dfrac{1}{2}y\right)$

Thus,

• $J(-2,4)\rightarrow J'(-1,2);$
• $K(-8,4)\rightarrow K'(-4,2);$
• $L(-4,6)\rightarrow L'(-2,3).$

See attached diagram.
