Question

What are the coordinates of P' if P (-5,-4) undergoes a dilation, centered at the origin, with a scale factor of K=2?

Answer 1

Answer:

$P' = (-10,-8)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$P = (-5,-4)$

$k =2$

Required

Determine the image P'

P' is calculated by multiplying P and k.

i.e.

$P' = P * k$

This gives:

$P' = (-5,-4) * 2$

$P' = (-5* 2,-4* 2)$

$P' = (-10,-8)$

Hence, the image P' after dilating P is (-10,-8)
