Question

Plot the image of point D under a dilation about point P with a scale factor of 1/3

Answer 1

Answer:

(if point P is (0,0))

(4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

I do not know how to take a picture of a plot diagram but I will try to do my best in explaining

I am going to treat the grid as a plot diagram where P is the origin, and D is (12,9)

If you are doing a dilation with the origin as the center, you can use formula

$\left(x_{1}\cdot t_{1},\ y_{1}\cdot t_{1}\right)$ Where t is the scale factor

The first step is to plug in the numbers appropriately

$(12*\frac{1}{3} , 9*\frac{1}{3} )$

Then, multiply 12 by 1/3 and 9 by 1/3

$(4,3)$

Your answer is (4,3)

Hope this helps, again I am so sorry it is confusing, if you have ANY questions please feel free to ask.

Have a nice day! :)
