Question

If a triangle with vertices A(-1, 4), B(-1, -2), C(2, -2) is dilated with a scale factor of 2 and a center of dilation at the origin, what are the new coordinates for A' ?

Answer 1

Answer:

A' (-2,8) B' (-2,-4) C' (4,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilations Rule :

(x,y) → (kx,ky)

Scale factor = K

When your scale factor is more than one our triangle gets bigger. When your scale factor is less than one our triangle gets smaller.

( you plug in 2 in every point and those are your answers).

Remember negative times negative is positive and positive times negative is negative.
