Question

Plot the image of point D under a dilation about the origin (0,0) with a scale factor of 3.

Answer 1

Answer:

D'(-6, 0) is the image of point D(-2, 0) under a dilation about the origin (0,0) with a scale factor of 3, as shown in attache figure below.

Please check the attache graph below where you can check the plot of the image D' of point D.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the point D on the coordinate plane has the vertex location

• D(-2, 0)

The rule of dilation about the origin (0,0) with a scale factor of 3:

The rule states that if we dilate the point, let say D(-2, 0), under a dilation about the origin (0,0) with a scale factor of 3, all we need to multiple the coordinates of the point D with 3. The result will be the image of point D.

so

• P(x, y)           →         P'(3x, 3y)

• D(-2, 0)         →         D'(-6, 0)                ∵ (-2×3, 0×3)=(-6, 0)

Therefore, the image of point D under a dilation about the origin (0,0) with a scale factor of 3 can be plotted at the location D'(-6, 0).

So the new location of  D' is (-6, 0).

D'(-6, 0) is the image of point D(-2, 0) under a dilation about the origin (0,0) with a scale factor of 3, as shown in attache figure below.
