Question

ABC has coordinates of A(-8,-8) B(4,-2) C(2,2). Find the coordinates of its image after the dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 1.5.

Answer 1

Answer:

A' ( -12 , -12 )

B' ( 6 , -3 )

C' ( 3 , 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coordinates of a point after a dilation simply multiply the x and y values of the points by the scale factor

Points: A(-8,-8) B(4,-2) C(2,2)

Scale factor: 1.5

Coordinates after the dilation

A' = (-8,-8) --------> (-8 * 1.5 , -8 * 1.5 ) ------------> (-12 , -12)

B' = (4,-2) ---------> (4 * 1.5 , -2 * 1.5) -----------> (6 , -3 )

C' = (2 , 2) ----------> (2 * 1.5 , 2 * 1.5) -----------> (3, 3)

So inclusion the coordinates of ABC after a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 1.5 are A' ( -12 , -12 ) B' ( 6 , -3 ) C' ( 3 , 3 )
