Question

Triangle ABC has vertices A(1,4), B(???2,4) , and C(???1,???1) . A dilation with a scale factor of 0.25 and center at the origin is applied to the triangle. What are the coordinates of C' in the dilated image? Enter your answer in the boxes. PLEASE BE RIGHT

Answer 1

Hello,

If you are starting with C as point (1, 1) all you have to do is multiply the coordinates by the scale factor. In this case, the scale factor is 0.25.

So we have: 0.25 x 1 = 0.25

Our new point C' will be (0.25, 0.25)

I hope this helps,
