Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise it is important to know the definition of "Dilation".
A Dilation is defined as a transformation in which the Image (The figure obtained after the transformation) and the Pre-Image (The original figure before the transformation) have the same shape but have different sizes.
If the Dilation is centered at the origin, and knowing the scale factor of , you need to multiply each coordinate of the point T by the scale factor in order to find the coordinates of the Image T'.
Knowing that the point T has the following coordinates:
You get that the coordinates of the Image T' are the shown below:
Explanation:
When the points are plotted on a graph, it is easy to see that the slope of AC is -2 and the slope of BC is 1/2. These slope values have a product of -1, so the corresponding line segments are perpendicular to each other.
___
If you have studied vectors, you can find the dot product of AC with BC:
AC = (-5, 3) -(-2, -3) = (-3, 6)
BC = (6, 1) -(-2, -3) = (8, 4)
The dot product is ...
(-3, 6)·(8, 4) = (-3)(8) + (6)(4) = -24+24 = 0
When the dot product of vectors is zero, they are perpendicular.
