The vertices of a polygon are given as follows: P(-2,4), Q(4,2), R(4,0); S(-12,0); k = 0.5 Find the coordinates of the vertex P' of the image after a dilation having the given scale factor. Type your answers as a coordinate pair in this format: (x,y)</span>
The first option because turn them all into degrees and it says:
54, 60, 90, 120, 255
A point that bisects a segment would be its midpoint. This is a case where the vocabulary (bisect as opposed to midpoint) makes it harder.
To find the midpoint, we use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula is:
midpoint = (x₁ + x₂/2, y₁ + y/2). To find it, you add the x coordinates and then divide them by 2. Repeat for the y coordinates.
x: (-2 + 6)/2 = 4/2 = 2
y: (5 +1)/2 = 6/2 = 3
Thus the point B bisecting AC is at (2, 3).
