Question

Graph ∆KLM with vertices K(2,2), L(0,- 1), and M(-3,2). Graph ∆K'L'M' with a scale factor of 2. What are the coordinates of the new vertices?

Answer 1

Answer:

The coordinates of the new vertices are:

K'(4,4), L'(0,- 2), and M'(-6,4).

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to dilate a shape by 2, you can simply multiply the coordinates of the orignal triangle each by 2 to find the new coordinates of the new vertices.

K(2,2), L(0,- 1), and M(-3,2)

K'(2*2,2*2), L'(0*2,- 1*2), and M'(-3*2,2*2).

Now become...

K'(4,4), L'(0,- 2), and M'(-6,4).

You can now graph ∆K'L'M' using these coordinates.
