Question

What are the coordinates of (-5,6) after a dilation of 2 centered at the origin

Answer 1

(-10, 12).

Explanation:

A dilation with a scale factor of 2 centered at the origin expands distances from the origin by a factor of 2. If a point in the plane is represented by the coordinates (x, y), then the point obtained by a dilation centered at the origin with scale factor k is represented by (kx, ky).

So, if the original point is (-5, 6), then after the dilation of 2 centered at the origin, the new point is represented by (2 * -5, 2 * 6) = (-10, 12).

So the coordinates of (-5, 6) after a dilation of 2 centered at the origin are (-10, 12).
