Question

If the pre image coordinate is G (-8, -2) what is the image coordinate with a dilation of k= 1/2?

Answer 1

`G = (-4,-1)`

Explanation:

Given

`G = (-8,-2)`

`k = (1)/(2)`

Required

Determine the image

The image G', is calculated using:

`G' = G * k`

Substitute values for G and k

`G' = (-8,-2)* (1)/(2)`

`G' = (-8* (1)/(2),-2* (1)/(2))`

`G = (-4,-1)`
