Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the result of the dilation, multiply each x and y coordinate by the scale factor, which in this case, is 1.5. I started out with the coordinate P, which had an original coordinate of (-2,1). In this case, I multiplied -2 by 1.5, and 1 by 1.5 to get (-3, 1.5). Since this is multiple choice, the only one with P as (-3, 1.5) is B, so we don't have to check the others.
Add them all together and there is your sum
Simply substitute x for -3 and y for -5, creating the equation shown below:
-6 (-3 - 2(-5) )
Now that you have your values set up, now you can do the math by starting off with Multiplying -2 by -5, which will get you 10.
Now that you have the parenthesis simplified in the parenthesis, you can use the distributive property by multiplying all the numbers with -6, like so:
-6(-3+10)= 18 - 60, which simplifies to -42, in which (A) is your answer.
