Question

Part B: A triangle has vertices A (-2, 3), B (0, 0), and C (1, 2). What are the coordinates of the vertices if the original triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 3 and then reflected over the x-axis?

Answer 1

Answer:

(-6,-9) , (0,0) and (3,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find new coordinates after dilating by 3 and reflecting over x-axis

By dilating by a factor of 3, we multiply each term by 3

We have the following;

A’(-6,9) B’(0,0) and C’ (3,6)

Now if we want to reflect the point (x,y) over x-axis, what we shall have is (x,-y)

So the vertices will be as follows;

(-6,-9) , (0,0) and (3,-6)
