Question

On a coordinate plane, point B is at (1, negative 1). Point B has coordinate B(1, –1). What is the coordinate of B' under a scale factor of 3? (1, –1) (3, –3) (–2, 2) (–6, 6)

Answer 1

Answer:

(3,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If a coordinate (x, y) is dilated by a factor k, the resulting coordinate will be (kx, ky)

Given the coordinate (1, -1), if dilated by a factor of 3, the resulting coordinate will be (3(1), 3(-1)) = (3, -3)

Hence the required coordinate will be (3,-3)
