False. If the area is 0 that means there is nothing there, therefore the area of a polygon cannot be zero.
If we look at where it is now, we would have multiplied the x and y values by 1/2. since we are working backwards, lets multiply by 2 instead...giving us the vertex for the pre-image....
J is now (0, -2) multiply by 2
J was (0, -4)
