Question

If abcd is dilated by a factor of 1/3 the coordinate of A would be?

Answer 1

Answer:

A' = (-1, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rule for the dilation of any point A(x, y) about the origin by a factor of k is given by the rule,

A(x, y) → A'(kx, ky)

From the graph attached,

Coordinates of point A are (-3, -3) and it is dilated by a scale factor of $\frac{1}{3}$ about the origin then the coordinates of the image point A' will be,

A(-3, -3) → $A'(-3\times \frac{1}{3},-3\times \frac{1}{3})$

             → A'(-1. -1)

Therefore, coordinates of A' = (-1, -1) is the answer.
